      @Minion-Queen you should look at upgrading your PayPal account to a business account, then the payment would be in the business name, not your personal one. It very easy to do. 😉

          I'm willing to pay the higher costs.

            Our fees are the same for Personal, Premier, and Business accounts. PayPal is free when you make purchases and when you send money from your bank account or PayPal balance. If you use a credit or debit card to send money, a fee applies. The sender decides who pays the fee.

              This is not entirely accurate. If you have a business account and accept money, there is always a fee for incoming money, because you're a business. At least it was the last time I had that type of account.

                Granted the fees might be the same regardless of account type.

                  For example, you sell something on Ebay, there's a fee if you use PP to receive those funds, because it's a business transaction.

                  Now all that said - @Minion-Queen are you not getting charged fees, or do you believe the fees are lower for your personal account if I send you money via a CC? or I suppose since it's personal, the fees could be on me instead of you.

                    @Dashrender Your confused. There is only a fee for credit cards (both personal and business.) What I posted came directly from the PayPal website.

                      Straight from their page. There is no talk about CC usage. Business pay a fee. Period.

                        My boss will never approve a expense to a person. How does he know I am not splitting the money with @Minion-Queen, and take taking a couple of paided days off lol

                        No TAX ID would be a no go for us. It's required for financial audits

                          Eh? You require a tax ID from anyone you buy something from on Ebay? or you just don't buy one? Do you have Amazon's tax ID also? I'm guessing it's published somewhere?

                            I do find that surprising as the buyer to need the tax ID. But if you do need it in any of those cases, you just request it. It would never show up in their website or credit card system. I've never seen a Tax ID advertised like that. It's always by request.

                              You do all realize I do own GroveSocial/MangoLassi and do use a regular Paypal account like MANY companies and the only way you can get a tax ID and claim it etc. is to have a company fill our a W9 before you pay an invoice?

                              I have also told all of you if you need a physical invoice for your bosses that I would be happy to do that for you.

                                @Breffni-Potter you mean you fixed it? Unfortunately the site first load still takes time, now trying from my home and its just showing the same screen as mentioned by @scottalanmiller I am sure if i refresh the site one more time it will load properly. Did you try using any plugins like https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/

                                No. I did nothing performance wise 🙂

                                The site was thrown together in an hour with no optimisations because the most important thing was to get something usable live.

                                Performance can be miles better but there's no point optimising the site when it's on a temporary host. It needs to be moved, then optimised.

                                  All payment gateways charge a fee if you are a business.

                                  I loathe Paypal with a vengeance as they cripple small businesses with their involuntary audits where they can lock your money up for months. Stripe is much nicer 🙂

                                    I use stripe via WAVE for my accounting software for GS and Stripe via Xero for NTG. Very happy with them.

                                        @aaronstude I have had a few companies pay for their IT people's tickets with no issue. If someone needs an invoice they can get one.

                                        I am an LLC and I own the company. So well it is me you are paying....

                                          I think he was trying to point out that credit cards have a fee but bank transfers do not.

                                            This is year one - There is quite a bit of work, planning and background tasks involved. An invoice should work fine with receipt. That is the reason you have both.

                                            This is a great point. My boss really likes an official flier, but printout from the website have been allowable.

                                            Little things to keep working on for the future.

                                            Expect more for next year. That is what evolution is about. It gets better over time (like a good scotch or brandy).
