The holidays are right around the corner. This usually means increased sales, more foot traffic, and busier stores. No matter the year, November and December call for you to have sound strategies in place to handle the increased demands of consumers. Of course, 2020 presents additional challenges given the COVID-19 situation, forcing business owners to be even more creative than in years past.

Stop chasing your customers for payments and start sending invoices from Payanywhere Inside. Invoices allow your customers to pay on their own time through a secure payments page instead of needing to make a phone call or visiting your place of business. They even have the option to set up autopay for recurring invoices!

At PayAnywhere, we realize that business never stops. You are constantly working to grow and maximize your business. Operating at the speed of business is critical, and being able to continue to accept payments – even if the internet is down – can be the difference between your customer purchasing with you or going elsewhere.

Now, new PayAnywhere merchants can save time on employment management with our new time clock and scheduling features. Our latest version integrates with Homebase, which helps thousands of businesses across the U.S. streamline workforce management via cloud-based software tools.

The new year is the perfect time to examine things, keep what works, and discard or upgrade what is no longer effective. This “taking stock” process also applies to your business procedures and equipment, particularly when it comes to your point of sale (POS) system.

When you stop to think about it, you realize your point of sale system is a modern miracle. Give your POS solution its proper due and place it at the hub of your small business, and you can say goodbye to many of those tedious tasks that once tied you to your desk long after business hours. 

This is the time of year when you start to be inundated with ads for remedies for everything from the sniffles to stomach viruses. As the temperatures fall, cases of colds and flu inevitably rise.

Why not kick 2020 to the curb by coming up with some positive resolutions that just might make a huge difference for your small business in 2021?
