This is a fab piece Kristi and I love that you recycled it bc it’s gold!

Do you or anyone else know a UK Wave type setup? I’d love this so much in my business. πŸ™πŸ»

Thanks Danusia! Yeah, not many eyeballs saw it the first time around.

I'm not sure of a Wave equivalent in the UK but I wonder if Google or ChatGPT would know?

How do Wave fees compare to PayPal and Stripe fees?

It depends on how you're using it (instant payouts vs scheduled, etc), which credit cards, etc. I hate that any of them have fees but I guess it's the cost of doing business.

For exact info, it's best to click through to their site and read more.

Finally- an alternate to Stripe and PayPal. The former wants me to do crap I can't do in order to synch up my writing accounts with my bank, and the latter can't connect with my bank no matter how hard I try! It would be useful to have an alternative.

It's a pretty smart setup and once you're connected you can set it to pay you out daily at any time you wish.

Let me get this straight. For $21 Canadian (approximately 18 cents US) I can have a QR code for use at the dog park or other fun location that will allow the potential customer to scan, pay AND schedule?

I bet if I look through that sack of pennies in the back of the closet I could find at least 18 American ones.

Lol I totally missed your first comment. You're hilarious and I bet you don't even have pennies because we don't make them anymore πŸ˜„

Strangely, we have a penny hoard in a cloth bag, deep in the closet. Not sure why lol. Maybe they will each be worth 2 cents someday

Lol! I have old $1 and $2 bills in a jar. I wonder if those are worth anything.

Does Wave have its own calendar or does it link to your other one?

It's just for payment processing and bookkeeping. But on the after-payment receipt your people receive, you can customize it however you like, including links to your booking calendar, Zoom meeting, etc.

You're welcome! It's actually quite savvy when you spend the time to set it up properly in the beginning.
