You’ve completed your first sale. Great! However, you have no idea where your money has gone – not so great!
Don’t go all ‘Stewie Griffin’ on us; this short article will help put your mind at ease.
When setting up your freewebstore account, you’ll automatically be set-up to receive payments through PayPal. However, you are not limited to PayPal – there are many other payment providers you may wish to use. See for yourself!
Once a customer has completed their payment, the funds will appear in your account – you are free to withdraw! Simple as that.

Choices, choices…
