I'm going to be starting an online business and will be selling mostly wholesale to retail stores. I'm unsure of how to process payments for bulk orders. I was thinking of having them email me their order and then I would send them an invoice through paypal. Would that be too unprofessional? Any other suggestions? I will be selling retail on the website as well, but since it's a start up I've decided to avoid the merchant account and just go with CCnow untill business picks up, then switch to a regular merchant account. I don't think CCnow is set up to handle bulk orders though. Thank you for any suggestions!
For the beginning of your business, I would do as you already say, use paypal and then switch to a merchant account once you have grown your business.
I was reading through another post here about paypal freezing accounts when you have larger amounts deposited. Now I'm afraid to use it for bulk orders. Anyone else had this happen to them?
