When brand design looks and feels connected, you can win more business. Use this checklist we created with our friends at Monotype to make sure your business is covering the basics of cohesive brand design, from your marketing website to your payment screen:

In the market for a new payments solution for your business? Check out these are some invoicing software red flags: 🚩 Silos payment workflows: Opt for an all-in-one solution offering invoice, bill pay, and cash flow control. This way, you’re not bouncing back and forth between platforms to manage different parts of your business. 🚩 Expensive: Try to find low or minimum fee options to maximize savings and avoid passing costs to your customers. 🚩 Doesn't play well with integrations: Workflows will be smoother if your invoicing and bill pay platform integrates with your accounting software. 🚩 Doesn't offer lots of payment options: Try to choose a software that supports various payment methods and enables flexible transactions.

We just dropped our ACH crash course. ACH transfer fees vary WILDLY depending on the payment platform you use to get paid. 1% isn't an uncommon fee amount for bank transfers on many platforms, and while might not sound like a lot, that fee can stack up on a a large transaction—especially if there are no caps! Hopscotch is one of the only payment solutions offering zero-fee bank transfers. Learn how this can benefit your business in our crash course on ACH payments here: https://hubs.ly/Q02qNtc70
