    Small Business Rates Relief and Empty Property

    I'll attempt to articulate it better, I've an empty building. If a business was in it, they'd get SBBR. As it is it's coming up to 6 months empty and according to the Council website we'll start paying business rates. But technically I am a business in owning it, so can I apply for SBBR? As a...

    Small Business Rates Relief and Empty Property

    If you own a property and the business you rent it to moves out do you become liable for rates? Because nobody is claiming relief (the business got 100% SBBR). (And you aren't planning to re-let it, you're doing it up to sell) It would appear so after it's been empty 6 months. Or, given that...

    Facebook Ad

    I like the website advice in the link in your sig. It mirrors my own feelings and now my own experience after having our homebuilt site redesigned after being told it was rubbish but not seeing an increase in sales.

    Facebook Ad

    I've only used it once to run an offer in December just gone. I plainly didn't use it correctly/well because it suggested there could be over a thousand impressions and there were tens. And I had inadvertently set the advert to run monthly, so watch out for that.

    Paypal & Xero linked - Opencart next?

    This is what i'm doing currently, raising one invoice at the end of the month, But then for every single individual payment coming in from the Paypal feed it's Match - select invoice - split invoice - confirm amount - reconcile. Repeat. In Xero you can match one large payment to several...

    Buyer put wrong address, what do I have to do?

    I'm often surprised how reasonable customers can be, when an order goes squiffy in some way due to their error and you're expecting to suck it up yourself. If they are making the wrong noises though, whatever the circumstances it's always better/quicker/easier to fix it and move on.

    Buyer put wrong address, what do I have to do?

    Almost all my posting hassle involves flats/apartments. I would suggest the OP get an address checker. Or a Royal Mail business account and use Click and Drop with it, It's extremely difficult to send things to an invalid address. Anecdote: I once sent an item, buyer claimed they'd not...

    Paypal & Xero linked - Opencart next?

    Or, Can anyone work out (is it possible) how to mark several payments against one Xero invoice in one go?

    Paypal & Xero linked - Opencart next?

    Currently I have my Paypal account linked into Xero. Now we don't do a massive number of sales but it is a labour entering sales totals into Xero (I do this by raising invoices periodically) and then reconciling each individual Paypal transaction against those totals (requires much splitting)...

    Bank Transfer as payment option?

    It's Opencart, yes i've set it up to do as you say, so only anyone placing an order will get the details so the exposure is very low anyway as the details aren't in the open on the website.

    Bank Transfer as payment option?

    This is the concern, but it does appear a one off and the bank were prepared to give him his money back.

    Bank Transfer as payment option?

    As I do have a Paypal account, i've never explored paying without logging in. Maybe I should and see what the fuss is about because even after pointing out that a Paypal account isn't needed, folk still seem to have bother.

    Bank Transfer as payment option?

    Can't use Stripe to sell glasses sadly (which I found out after the effort and expense of getting it set up). Couldn't get Klarna working on our site either for some reason, might go back and have another look at that. Reason for my post was I wondered if anyone was uneasy about making their...

    Bank Transfer as payment option?

    Over the years we've offered Paypal and another card processor, but almost everyone would use Paypal. For one reason and another we've ended up Paypal only and get the occasional sniffy message from people who aren't keen. I'm not motivated to set up another processor so i've added the option to...
