It might not be Halloween season just yet, but I'm here to talk about a topic that has most business owners quaking in their shoes: payment disputes.   When you've never gone through a payment dispute, getting hit with one out of the blue can leave you reeling. I know it completely threw me off the first—and only—time I experienced a payment dispute, and I've watched my clients go through the very same thing. So as uncomfortable a subject as it might be, I'm here to walk you through how to protect yourself from disputes, the process of working through these payment disputes through Stripe, PayPal, and other third-party apps used to accept credit cards...and why they're still worth the risk.     CONNECT WITH KATIE:   Website: https://www.katieferro.com/   Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/orderlyaccountingbykatie   The Bookkeepers’ Corner Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thebookkeeperscorner/     EPISODE RESOURCES:   If you're looking for more tips for bookkeeping, insight on how to become a bookkeeper, more information on why bookkeeping is important, and how to say hello to a more confident business model, enroll in Become A Bookkeeper (BABs).   Or to learn more about growing your bookkeeping business and hiring a team, enroll in Life By The Books™ (Libby).   If you have enjoyed this blog post, head on over to Instagram, share your IG stories, and tag me: @orderlyaccountingbykatie Kajabi affiliate www.katieferro.com/kajabi for extended 30-day trial
