Be a Pro with Online Payments - GM63

Grey Matters, with Steve Dotto

"Make money online," they said. "It'll be easy!" they said. Sure, but to make money online you need to know how to handle money online. Listen in to this episode of the Grey Matters podcast to learn what you need to manage online transactions for your business!

Think about the last time you wrote or received a check. Even depositing a check these days can be done by taking pictures with your smartphone and conducting the transaction online with your bank. Things today are far different from how they used to be, and while the traditional methods of sending and receiving payments do still work, online payment methods work better. Faster. More conveniently.

If only someone would take the time to walk you through the options... but wait! Steve does just that in this episode of Grey Matters. Pop in your earbuds to learn more about options like PayPal, Stripe, and Square, plus Steve's favorite discovery for online and international banking, Wise. From exchange rates to actual pocket change, you'll get what you need to start managing online transactions for your business instead of them managing you.
