Convenience when paying a contractor? Adopting technology?
Anyone ever used modern apps like paypal, venmo, etc. to pay contractors?
Any contractors accept these modern payment formats & have advice on convincing someone to take the time to set it up to accept these payments?
My thinking is that I want to add value to my contractors by being able to pay them virtually instantaneously, as we all know speed of payment and fast cash flow is important to their business....but lately, I have struggled to convince a couple of guys to adopt these payment methods.
Any thoughts are appreciated. TIA

@Jed Hefner IMO the person who is providing the service should says what payments are accepted. I agree that PayPal or others is much more convenient however I am not going to have renters tell me that they want to pay me in amazon gift cards. I would suggest it and if they say no pay them how they prefer.
