Do you know of a service like PayPal where I can receive money without a significant transaction fee?
I am a graphic designer, and I was paid $900 for a service I provided for a client, and they paid me through PayPal. When I went to collect the payment, PayPal took $30 from my total payment, which seems outrageous for the simple act of passing money from one account to another. Is there a better service that is reliable and commonly used for the freelancer/client transaction exchange process?

Do you know of a website/software that helps in building contracts, proposals & invoices for a client?
I'm a graphic designer, and I have begun working as a freelancing. As I'm starting to take on clients, I'm going through the process of creating proposals for them to approve and sign, but wondering if there might be an easier way than building them from scratch each time. Is there a website that makes the process of creating these documents a bit easier, or some sort of resource you've used that's helped your workflow when creating one?

Question) What does shopify do for you?
I posted my concerns couple days ago, not being able to increase traffic with my current Etsy Shop. Friendly redditors suggested me that I look into Shopify, which is what i did. (yay) However, after a intense research of Shopify, I don't understand the clear advantages of the platform. This is my understanding so far, Shopify is useful because, 1) it's easy set up, 2) shopify creates professional looking online shop, 3) marketing/promotion 4) sell on social media and 5) access to SEO. I am not sure what kind of marketing and social media sales it promotes. Anyone have clear experience with Shopify to acknowledge me? I need to know why moving my shop to shopify would increase traffic and promote sales. and also what kind of marketing shopify offers.

Exporting to USA from canada
Hello. I hope someone could help or at least send me in the right direction. I have a really small business in Canada where I make and sell dungeons and dragons/RPG themed items. I sell to stores across Canada now. I accidentally contacted a store in Michigan and they are interested in buying some of my Dice bags wholesale. Probably $300 or so worth. I’ve been told that customs for getting regular items across the border can be a bitch. And I’m starting to worry about getting my items to a commercial business across the border. Is there anything I can do to ease the process. And where would I even start to figure/plan out the export of merchandise to another country. Thanks for the help :)

Need your opinion
I have been working on this business idea and almost have my prototype done but wanted to ask what you guys think about it. My app/website will let you add items to your grocery basket, think of everyday items you buy at grocery stores. Once you add items to the basket, the app would show a total of your basket across different stores. For example, at Walmart, it might cost to buy the same items $30, compared to $24 at Target. Once you are done shopping you can either pick up your order or get it delivered. Let me know what you guys think of it and any catchy names you could think of.
