Funny story.
So I've been in been in business (aka started getting paid) since May. I've been getting checks in the mail. The first time it happened I couldn't believe it was actually possible for me to be the guy that works from home and once a month collects a bunch of checks in the mail.
COVID brought the county clerk to a close and I had to mail in an application for a DBA. It took them MONTHS to get back to me. And by months I mean from June to last week (October).
Needless to say, I tried getting a payment processor for automated digital payments back in July. I even made a thread posing a question about which processor to go with... Quickbooks didn't let me without a business bank account.
The banks didn't let me open a business bank account without the DBA.
The DBA - this is my life - didn't come until last week. So I've been collecting checks in the mail for months. Surprisingly, people's reaction to mailing a check seemed to be more accepting than I anticipated.
I finally was able to open a business bank account today - thank God.
Now I'm back to the question I posed to the FLF back in July... as a digital marketer, which payment processor is best?
I'm leaning towards stripe because I read somewhere that PayPal doesn't do recurring payments.
What do you guys think is best specifically for agencies?
