Chose ZipBooks

PayPal for a very long time was my go to software, and I had many issues. PayPal was clunky, unattractive, and many parts of their website were broken (old links returning 404s). It was difficult to get a human on the line (in chat, in email, or on the phone) and the majority …

Small businesses are well suited for this software, as their pricing is very affordable. they have a FREE FOREVER Starter plan, for those that are bootstrapped with little cash. I'm on the $15/mo Smarter Plan, and it's perfect for my little boutique agency's needs.
