In today's episode, we're diving into a common frustration for business owners: Those pesky payment processing fees from platforms like Stripe, Square, and PayPal. They might seem small, but they sure add up, and many of you have been asking – can we bypass these fees without sacrificing service? We'll tackle why embracing a slight cut in your revenue for a fee can actually enrich your business's maturity and appeal. I'm sharing my take on how these fees are an investment, not just a deduction. So, stay tuned as we peel back the layers of customer convenience, business growth, and the magic of that 97% revenue you retain.

04:27 Business owners prioritize customer payment flexibility and value.
