11. Tips Khusus Send Money Buat Klien
1. Set Expectation Fee di Awal
Kalau kamu send invoice ke klien, jelasin fee PayPal:
- "Invoice $1.000, please add $44.30 PayPal fee"
- Atau bundle ke harga: "Total $1.044.30"
2. Kasih Opsi Direct Transfer
"Ini invoice. Untuk hemat PayPal fee 4.4%, kamu bisa direct transfer ke Wise USD account saya. Detail: ..."
3. Pakai PayPal.me untuk Quick Payment
Klien bisa klik link, bayar cepat. Same fee, tapi UX lebih enak.
4. Bulk Invoice
Daripada 4 invoice $250/bulan, kasih 1 invoice $1.000/quarter. Fixed fee jadi sekali kena.
5. Currency Strategy
Kalau klien US, minta bayar USD (bukan IDR convert). Kamu hold USD, convert sendiri di Wise.
