# No-Fee Direct Payment Methods
## Take more bookings with fewer fees. Read more to learn about YouLi 0%-Fee Payment Options, like Direct Bank Transfer, Zelle, and more.
**Available with any of the plans:**
- Grow Annual - [Upgrade today to access](https://youli.io/account/billingsetup)
Credit Card payments are the most convenient way to collect bookings. You as a Planner receive the money in seconds, and the client receives immediate confirmation. However, Credit Card payments come with a price.
The fee you pay to process a booking via CC, the so-called "Merchant" or "Transaction" fee may include the CREDIT CARD FEE (always) and BOOKING FEE (depending on [your YouLi plan](https://go.youli.io/pricing)).
#### Credit card payments in YouLi will incur:
- CREDIT CARD FEES charged by the CC merchant service and processed via Stripe, Square, CyberSource, or Authorize.net
**NOTE**: Learn how to [apply Credit Card Surcharge](https://support.youli.io/articles/360001218676-payments-credit-card-surcharge?hsLang=en) to pass the CC fee to your customers.
- YouLi BOOKING FEES - depend on your subscription and can be reduced. [View YouLi plans to compare the fee options.](https://go.youli.io/pricing)
**NOTE**: If you want to avoid paying the YouLi BOOKING FEE, you can utilize one of our NO-FEE PAYMENT OPTIONS.
### What are the available no-fee payment options for group bookings?
1. [Manual Bank Transfer Instructions](https://support.youli.io/articles/360001286935-how-to-accept-direct-payments-bank-transfer?hsLang=en) - NO Credit Card Fees, NO YouLi Booking Fees.
Contact your bank to check if other fees apply (for example, fees associated with International transfers). The default label is "Bank Transfer", but it can be changed to a custom label, such as "Zelle" or "Bitcoin".
2. PayPal.me Link
3. Pay over Phone
4. Custom Payment Link and any other custom payment instructions (like Bitcoin if you are so brave!) - this could be ANY link.For example, your partner's booking page, Donation Page, Venmo, etc. - YouLi will redirect your payment to ANY platform.
NO-FEE PAYMENT OPTIONS are a great way to save $$$ on the booking fee. In many cases, like domestic bank transfers, you will avoid ALL transaction fees by allowing your clients to send the payment directly to your bank.
**NOTE**: Keep in mind that Direct Bank Transfers may take 3-7 business days.
To optimize your cash flow, you may set up the DEPOSITS to be collected via Credit Card, and collect the remaining installments via bank transfers.
