Commissions and help support my work
8 years ago
I am about to start on a commission and wanted to post this real quick.
The commission I am working on now is the final time I will accept Paypal for payment. Future commissions will have to pay with my new payment processor. After calculating the fees and everything, this new processor is way better than Paypal, plus it allows me to put in discounts for repeat customers automatically into the invoices. This also integrates into my tax forms, which makes it easier to do my taxes each year. Customers will never have to pay any processing fees as it will come out of what I am paid from it.
With the discounts feature, I decided to give a 10% discount for repeat customers on commissions only. If you choose to help support my work, I'm willing to provide a 10% discount for those that support me 6 months or more. This all means a great scenario for my customers.
If I get enough income from commissions and subscriptions every month, I can automate the recurring billing process so I don't have to send out invoices every 30 days for subscriptions.
Also, if you want to change your subscription in the middle of the month, I can easily make that happen so you only have to pay the difference if you wish to upgrade, or refund the difference if you wish to downgrade. However, I will not refund the difference if you've already received the rewards for the subscription option for the month. Any upgrades or downgrades will not count against you for the time required for the discount.
All I need in order to use my new payment processor is an email address. For those that already commissioned me, I'll use the email used for Paypal so if you wish to commission me again, it won't take long to create and send invoices. If you would like to use a different email, let me know.
Here is a sample of what I receive when payment is made with the new processor: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ad8x3qi5z.....ample.PNG?dl=0
