Statistically, this little saying has proven that the customer will be at more ease to spend more when he/she is charging it to their credit card. If your business features high dollar products then it is obvious that the customer will want to use a credit card. It is rare that a customer will carry hundreds of dollars in his pocket when he goes out for a quick day of shopping. Carrying a lot of cash will make him feel insecure in public places due to the risk of theft or robbery. Having a credit card empowers the customer to buy things he didn’t plan on.

A credit card is a much more convenient way for customers to pay their bills.

Similarly, if you bill for your time, it will be much easier for your potential clients to secure your services by paying through a credit card. This is convenient and less “painful” for them, and you will secure more work in the future - with less "hassle" when it comes to the money.
