Are Payment Frictions Killing Your Cash Flow? Here’s How to Remove Them #104

In this episode, we explore how adding friction to payment processes can hurt your cash flow and what to do about it. Explaining why offering only one payment method loses you time and money, and introduces the idea of treating customers as "B2Me" — giving each buyer a choice of convenient payment options. The goal is to remove barriers so customers can pay quickly and reliably. The episode outlines seven low-cost, practical technologies you can implement: direct debit (GoCardless with Xero), Xero PayByStatement links, phone-based tap-to-pay, bank QR codes, pay-now buttons on invoices, and card-payment links (e.g., Apron). It also covers using multiple processors (Stripe, Apple/Google Pay, PayPal) so customers can pick the method they prefer. ⭐ Rate, Review & Share this episode with fellow business owners, and let's grow together! ⭐ Subscribe to the weekly newsletter to get Expert Advice Straight to Your Inbox: https://www.profitcashgrowth.com/subscribe ⭐ Get a Free copy of Claire's book Profit By Numbers: https://www.profitcashgrowth.com/book   VALUABLE RESOURCES Website LinkedIn YouTube Facebook ABOUT THE HOST: Claire Hancott through Profit Cash Growth helps 6 & 7 figure business owners to increase their profit, improve their cashflow and grow their business using their numbers.
