I am working now for 5 years by myself, but it does not working out very well. I am doing this in the Netherlands. I am giving now personal training and want to give Bootcamp in the park next week. For personal training my clients pays me every two months, and after every two months they can stop or they can go on. That is not your way I suppose? And the bootcamp, I will working with every month payment, is that the good way? I have put a lot of flyers in the people houses, but very less respons. Can you tell me what I need to do, to explode my business? I hope to hear from you. Regards, Rene Boon The Netherlands Hello,

I am gonna get set up through Merchant One. They are an all in 1 company so you don't need 2 companies to get eft rolling. The fees look very reasonable and I will be able to bill every 35 days. This way I don't have to roll sessions over to the next month or book extra appointments. Some months they will get 1 or 2 extra so it will balance out any missed sessions due to cancellation. Let me know if you guys/gals think this is a bad idea...lol Ok….I lied….I am not going with Accept Pay….I got set up with them but it is way too difficult to change cycle dates and things like that.

Stay away from it! It took 6 weeks to get the gateway set up. The software is way too complicated, it made me much less productive then I was on paper. What a nightmare to get this software figured out. I think EFT is a must to set up, but use a different software because Shape.net sucks! I wasted 2 months with Shape.net and now I'm going to cancel it and switch. I've been using shape.net and it sucks!!! Stay away from it! It took 6 weeks to get the gateway set up.
