Accept credit cards.
I'll explain why.
A lot of people on this forum are consultants who act on behalf of multiple wealthy clients. We don't have access to the corporate PayPal account and asking finance to send money to a random address is just not worth it for any deal under $5k.
Instead, we have an unlimited credit card assigned to us. Pretty much any purchase under $1000 doesn't need approval - but I spent $2k on a video edit last week and no one raised an eye. If I want to buy $500 in links from Hardcore Biker, then I go do that - every week if I want. If I need $3000 in niche edits this month because it's in our growth plan for Q3, then I do that. I'm not the only one like this, tons of people on here are the same - most are just less vocal.
Stop making it hard for people to give you money. Have a "buy now" link that goes to a page that accepts credit cards.
We can't do PayPal unless you send us a money request (which many vendors are unable to do because they JV on a PayPal account) and we can't do crypto.
There are many free systems that let you setup and accept credit cards. Here's one: https://sellix.io - Service Provider Pro is another but it's paid. I think Stripe also has some new features to help embed on a website that would be free.
You might not double your customer list but the customers you attract will be larger spenders, which could dramatically increase sales $.
