"How and When to Use PayPal's New Invoicing System.."

Automate, automate, automate. It's darn good advice most of
the time. But what about occasions where you simply need to
collect a one-time payment for various and sundry items or
services?
PayPal recently launched a very handy and convenient service
called "PayPal Invoicing" that makes the job of requesting and
collecting payment for products or services a snap.
Here's the process in a nutshell...
(1) You log into your PayPal account.
(2) From the main screen, click the dark blue "Request Money"
tab.
(3) The second paragraph (currently) says "To send a more
detailed request, try out PayPal's new Invoicing tool".
Click this link to go to the invoicing page.
(4) At the "Select Template" dropdown menu, select "New
Invoice" and click continue.
(5) The next screen provides all of the fields that you'll need
to build your invoice. You can apply tax, charge for
shipping, specify the rates for each, and more. This won't
take you more than about 10 or 20 seconds to complete.
When you're satisfied with the information that you've
entered, click the "Continue" button.
(6) The next screen shows you what the invoice will look like,
and if you like what you see, click "Send Invoice" and your
job is done.
The recipient of your invoice will receive an attractive html
email invoice with your PayPal email as the "from" address. When
they open it they'll see a "Pay Now" button to click, and this
takes them directly to their PayPal login page. Upon logging in,
they will have the option to either pay the invoice or cancel
it.
Hopefully, they'll pay.
When all is said and done, both you and they will have receipts
and records of your transaction and it's very quick and easy to
use. It's a great tool.
For common recurring transactions like the sale of digital
products or services, PayPal invoicing probably doesn't make
sense. You can automate billing and delivery far better by
setting up web pages that do all of the work for you.
So, when might you want to use PayPal invoicing?
Here are a few situations that might make sense...
- One time services (i.e. freelance work)
- Collecting money for an ad in a newsletter.
- Setting up co-operative advertising.
- Collecting payment for physical goods. For example, you just
sold a vegetable that had an uncanny resemblance to Bill
Clinton to your unsuspecting sister-in-law.
- It's April Fool's Day and you just want to invoice the next
person to walk by your office door.
Automation is great, but there are times when you just need a
quick and convenient work-around. PayPal invoicing might be just
what the doctor ordered.
