There's always ACH, which has lower fees than credit card.
Many banks have a check reader that you have at your premises Once you scan
the checks through, it deposits directly into your account... all without
having to take the check to the bank.

Many of our customers want a paper bill. When we switched, we first did
it
voluntarily. Not many changed. Not enough to matter.
When we mandated it we gave them an option of still getting a paper bill
but
we charge for that. I think we'll next do that with credit card payment.
Sure we'll take your check, but it'll cost you a buck. Maybe not. I
still
have to run the numbers on what the cc company takes vs. what we spend in
time dealing with payments
Most people that didn't like the new billing actually liked it when we
taught them to just print out their statements (we don't do invoices
anymore) and it'll be EXACTLY the same one that they'd get in the mail.
We also explained to quite a few folks that we're supposed to be a high
tech, cutting edge company, yet we still use postal mail instead of email!
yikes. They laugh and then understand. Some were also told that our time
to get invoices out went from two people, two days to on person 3 to 4
hours. That they really understood.
In short, we got a lot less pushback than I was expecting.
laters,
marlon

What's the price for the envelops with the postage on them?

Microserv
$235 for a box of 500 pre-stamped at $.42, i.e. $.47 each, including
return address printing. No surcharge for window envelopes. There's a
per box shipping charge of $8.60 for one box or $12.60 for two.
It's more expensive in boxes of 50. The return address printing options
are limited.

We've had mixed success billing electronically. Seems like a lot of
customers don't think they owe anything unless they get a piece of paper.
We're thinking of changing to emulating the banks and credit cards by
starting off with paper billing but encouraging the customers to switch
to
paperless billing voluntarily.
