I'll be using EasyStart for invoicing

General

I have previously mentioned the service called EasyStaff ("EasyStart" is also their name).
So far, it has proven to be the most stable way for me to receive payments:
• it supports Stripe checkouts
• you'll receive an actual invoice by your email
Originally, I wanted to make my own version of a guide, because the other versions I've seen were either incomplete or were written in very broken English x_x
But I think it's better if I just share the official guide (even though it has some minor typos, idk why I'm so sensitive to that D:):
EasyStart guide for individuals
There is also my freelancer page (or "Easylancer" as they call it) which can also be used for payment:
My Easylancer page
Just click the "log in to pay freelancer" button to log in using your Google account, then you'll be able to fill in other fields (just don't forget to select the currency, USD or EUR!)
Note: selecting EUR is recommended if you are from Great Britain, so you can avoid double conversion. If you are a GB resident, let me know, and I'll adjust the price (according to exchange rates on xe[dot]com) <3
What about Boosty?
Boosty is alright, but I would really prefer to only use it if payment processing through EasyStart somehow fails. I've had enough issues with Boosty by this point, varying from clients being unable to pay me at all to Boosty refusing to withdraw the funds unless I prove them I am not laundering the money ._. I also witnessed some artists get chargebacks on their accounts, sometimes happening without clients knowing, so to me it's all just... Eh.
However, If we have already worked together before, then I am completely fine with using Boosty! Just thought it's important to mention <3
I am 99% ready to go back to work, right now I'm basically getting into "the zone", so to speak x3
By the way, if anyone can recommend good budgeting tools/apps, that would be appreciated! Lately, I've been mad about financial planning and stuff :D
I've been using EasyStart to pay for art from one of my friends. I think it's easier than Boosty and more convenient for the artist. 👍

OP
Really appreciate your feedback! It's reassuring to know that the service is convenient for the clients as well ^_^
