    Striking off Ltd Co.

    Thank you both for your replies. The only movement of funds in the company since the 31st March 2016 are: monthly phone line rental, domain name renewal, annual return fee, accountancy fee and bank fees. Hopefully these are not classed as trading activities. Thanks Scalloway. I will indeed...

    Striking off Ltd Co.

    Hi all, Due to time constraints I'm looking at closing down a Ltd company I had set up a few years ago. I had purchased some equipment (printer, land line phone) and raw materials in the start-up stages using my own money, which were credited to a directors loan account. I had only used the...

    Yotpo Reviews vs other review programs

    I thought I was going crazy when I checked the yotpo site...I had signed up to the free plan around a year ago, with the intention of upgrading to the £20? tier when needed. I see this is now replaced with a £265 plan!

    Next Step - Braintree

    Haven't found any as of yet. I'm in the process of launching my own site using Paypal express and stripe. If it is truly fee-free I'll be looking to make the switch. I found the following on an old Brainptree post:

    Next Step - Braintree

    Do you have Paypal express and Paypal through Braintree active? If so I'd guess more first time customers would prefer Paypal Express rather than going through checkout. Looking through the Braintree documentation, previous customers can save their card details when using Braintree which might...

    New UK Stripe Pricing

    I think most UK users were on the standard 2.4% + £0.20/€0.24/$0.30 per transaction + VAT unless you were processing over £20K. I cannot see anywhere in my account which shows the actual rate, only what fee is charged on the transaction. A quick bit of calculator work should show the breakdown...

    Hi Phil, I'd be interested in hearing what 'score' your site achieves using the above test. Is it on one of vidahost's shared servers? Thanks,

    Woocommerce Theme and Printable Discount Codes

    I can't yet post links, but the woocommerce documentation covers most queries. Google: coupon management woocommerce. I think there's also a few youtube videos covering the same topic but those may be a little outdated.

    Woocommerce: Recommended plugins?

    Hello all, I've almost completed my first online store using woocommerce. I thought I'd give WC a go as I'm a long time Wordpress user, I'm proficient in php/css/html and only have a small range of products to sell. I've decided to use Stripe and Paypal Express as my payment methods until an...

    Anyone using Stripe?

    Deniser, out of interest, how many sales were through Stripe?

    Anyone using Stripe?

    As above really. From a developers point it's simple enough to implement, although I haven't 'gone live' with it yet. Unfortunately I'll also be offering paypal at a slightly higher cost to myself.

    Sole trader Virtual address

    What would happen if you purchased a registered and directors address, and a customer/supplier were to send post such as an invoice to that address? I don't think I'd require a mailing address, as MonkeyTer stated, I could just give out my home address if a customer wanted to return an item.

    Sole trader Virtual address

    Thanks for the reply StevensOnln1. I'm currently based in Buckinghamshire. I have contacted my local enterprise centre and they offer a virtual office service. £249 for a registered office and mailing service. Looks quite expensive to me. Looking at the big picture it may just be better for me...
