I have a few clients that want to buy through my arbonne web page, but don't have credit cards. I wonder if Arbonne has ever thought of utilizing something like Paypal for payments?

Anyone else run into this?

I have a lady interested in signing up as a consultant who doesn't even have a credit card or check card...so I was goign to do some research today on how this would work for her. I will let you know if I find anything that would be helpful to you.

Thanks. This is not the first time I have run into this, maybe people are getting rid of their credit cards!!! I think Paypal would be a perfect solution.....

I think you can use pay pal...you would have to invoice them, they would send payment via their bank account and then you would pay arbonne with your bank card or credit card...does that make sense?

I think you can mail a check in with an order form. Way too slow for me. If I have a customer who doesn't have a cc, I will take cash or a check & use my debit card. I think if you want to work this as a business, you'll have to at least have a debit card tied to a bank account.

that's what I think as well. I am trying to get her to go get a check card. We'll see what she does.

Hi--"lurker" from another beauty board!</span>smileys/smiley2.gif<br style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">I don't have a CC or a debit card. I am, frankly, TERRIBLE w/checking accounts. My solution has been to buy a Visa gift card for myself once a month and use that to order online from my company. It's really not that big of a hassle--there's a bank in one of our grocery stores that sells them--so while I'm at the store, I stop in to the bank branch in that store and pick up a Visa gift card as well. Here, they run about $4.00.</span><br style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><br style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">So, there's another option to think about too!</span>

That is a good option! I know I got several for Christmas &amp; used them to order Arbonne this month! This is a good option for those who don't wish to give out banking info or cc use on the internet, even though I personally think it is safe, others do not.


For my order I put in my zip code where it asked &amp; for the name I put gift card.Edited by: arbonnebev

I use my Paypal debit MC for EVERYTHING I do now!! I just love it. When it starts to get low, I know I need to put some more "clutter" on ebay, or get busy in my studio making things to sell!! It has helped me clean house and helps me realize what is more important to me, ie "do I want this sweater I haven't worn for 3 years or would I rather have 'fill in the blank' this week"!
