I, too, had my first sale just last week! When I set up the shop, direct checkout was the only option I considered. Is PayPal necessary/ preferred in any way?
Congratulations to all on their first sale! I have customers using both DC and PayPal, although most seem to use DC. Still I think it's a good idea to include both, for those users who prefer the security of paypal.
I just signed up for DC on Sunday. Got my first sale using DC today. When I look at my Shop Payment Account it shows a balance of zero.
Etsy has made the one penny deposit into my bank account to verify it. When can I expect the funds from todays sale to show up in my Shop Payment Account?
