Best payment system for small business

[ODB]

For those of you who run small businesses and take electronic payment (paypal/zelle/venmo, etc) - give me your experience with best/worst. I need to set one up and would like some advice.

What type of business? I own an archery shop and use Fortis. If you aren't in a "high risk" business you might get away with one of the mainstream processors. I used Zettle for a while which I liked but it's owned by Paypal and I don't like their politics nor do they like mine!

I use fortis pay as well for my FFL/SOT business, happy with them so far

Publishing.

That isn’t true, you are probably thinking of Venmo.

A non-profit I am associate with uses Square, moved there from PayPal partially for the reason stated above.

Not saying it’s the best but we use Intuit/quickbooks. We don’t use it often; Specialty construction subcontractor.

Zettle is definitely owned by Paypal. You may be confused with Zelle. Two different processors

I'm in publishing also. We swapped a few years ago to Stripe when we moved to online only invoicing through Invoicely. It has its limitations but it's really easy to use and the pricing is great. I have had zero issues with this combo for the past three years.

Prior to that I was using a system designed specifically for periodical publishers that was a huge PITA.

Correct, the OP listed Zelle and Venmo and I mid-read what you typed. Apologies

I've used square for a couple years on my outfitting and land management projects. Nothing but great things to say for their customer service.

Thanks for all the comments. Seeing a few new names for me to look into.

I've been using Freshbooks for my new biz and they have Stripe for payments... so far so good.
