I'm trying to implement a new rule of paying deposits for advance appointments.
I wanted to write a detailed blog post on my website with an easy and clear step-by-step guide on how to pay.
As I was writing all down, taking screenshots and getting excited about it, I came across Amazon gift card T&C.
They forbid to exchange gift cards for services.
Other gift card providers state the same.
And luckily I did some research on here only to find out that AW vouchers can't be used for deposits (so immediately removed a link I put on my profile last night saying 'Pay a deposit' in full glory
, right on time I think...).
Initial idea was to offer deposits paid via:
1. Vouchers: AW and Amazon
2. Gift cards
3. PaySafe codes perhaps, so that they can be used to top up AW
Other ways would be to set up a business bank account and ask for a transfer (it won't be anonymous though).
Or Cash App recommended here on another thread earlier (haven't checked it out yet).
Well, I won't be writing this blog post for sure as it's only asking for trouble.
Are there any other ways of receiving deposits? Do you have any thoughts on this tricky subject?
