Question
I have decided to postpone the launch of my company until I know I have something worthy of making such an investment. I want to make sure people will be willing to pay and that I have some numbers to analyze before bootstrapping it any longer. Thanks for helping!
Answer
If you're asking about processing point-of-sale payments, have you considered using the smart phone tools available from Square, PayPal or QuickBooks? You don't need to have a formal business entity structure to use these. A sole proprietorship is a viable business model to conduct some sales and test payments.
