As a freelance web designer based in the Philippines most of my clients are abroad or foreign and all transactions are conducted online. From submitting designs to receiving payments.
One of the most commonly asked question by many of my new clients is how to send payment and another question commonly asked to me is, "do you accept paypal".
About paypal, unfortunately does not include the Philippines in its list of countries. So, as much as we want to use paypal, we can't but you can help bring paypal here to the Philippines by supporting this online petition, PaypalNow.
When asked, "how to send payments?" the answers I give are:
Advantages that I see in using WU:
XOOM is an alternative to using WU and it is slowly gaining some popularity. XOOM works much like WU. Your client can send their payments at XOOM's website, http://www.xoom.com. You'll need to provide your client your personal info like name, address, etc. In XOOM, you can also choose if you want to pick-up your money or have it delivered to your home. You can pick-up your money at any PCI-Equitable Bank branch or at any authorized XOOM Agents/Centers all over the country. I always pick-up money sent to me through XOOM at an M. Lhuillier Pawnshop. Don't forget to bring some valid identification cards and the following information.
Advantages of XOOM compared to WU:
I have yet to encounter any problems with any of the two, WU and XOOM, but currently I prefer XOOM to WU because of its low money transfer fees which is great for my clients.

When asked, "how to send payments?" the answers I give are:
- through Western Union and;
- through XOOM
- Sender's Name
- Sender's Address
- Sender's Phone
- Amount sent to you
- MTCN (Money Transfer Control Number)
Advantages that I see in using WU:
- WU is safe and secure
- WU is fast and reliable
- WU is known worldwide

- Sender's Address
- Sender's Phone
- Amount sent to you
- XOOM Tracking Number
- Passcode if any
Advantages of XOOM compared to WU:
- It has lower money transfer fees
- It is somewhat affiliated with PCI-Equitable Bank
- It is not as established as WU
- I still don't know who operates XOOM
I have yet to encounter any problems with any of the two, WU and XOOM, but currently I prefer XOOM to WU because of its low money transfer fees which is great for my clients.
Other services/sites which you can use to receive payment:
- Stormpay
- Moneybookers
- E-gold
- Alertpay
- Check by Postal Mail. This is not very secure but I still receive my check from Google through postal mail.
- Bank Transfer. If your client is willing to shoulder the expense then by all means use this method. It is very fast, it is very secure and the funds get transferred directly into your bank account. I've had only 2 clients that sent their payment through bank transfer.

I always find Paypal the most secure, aside that it has really high and expensive fees.

ReplyDeleteCashless payments are most likely preferable these days. It is very convenient and easy.

There are several ways now how you can receive online payments. One thing I highly recommend is wise. Have you heard of it? Also, if you're looking for a reliable cleaner who's expertise is in line with air ducts and dryer vents, I would suggest you hire this air duct cleaning Mesa AZ based company.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! How much is the shipping/processing fee then?

It's important to have multiple options for receiving payments online, especially if you're working with international clients. Western Union and XOOM are two popular options, with Western Union being more established but having higher fees, and XOOM being more affordable but less well-known. Other services/sites to consider include Stormpay, Moneybookers, E-gold, and Alertpay. If you're willing to wait for a check to arrive by postal mail, that's also an option, but it's not very secure. Bank transfers are another fast and secure option, but not all clients may be willing to shoulder the expenses. Overall, it's important to have multiple payment options available to make the process as convenient as possible for both you and your clients. https://www.bestcasepropertygroup.com/
ReplyDeleteDo you have another way to receive payments aside from the mentioned methods?

ReplyDeleteWhen you shop at a retailer and pay with a credit card, the payment processor works in the background to authenticate and complete the transaction, moving the money from your account to the business’ account. lake
