Credit check fee

I run credit/background checks on all prospective tenants.  Inevitably only one spouse will show up for a viewing and I have to meet with one or both of them again to collect the cash for the $35. 00 fee I charge.  Lately we have become incredibly busy, and this extra meeting has become harder to arrange.  I have been sending PDF copies of the forms in some instances, but I do not want to run the check unless I have money first.  Many of you are very tech savvy, so I am thinking there is some slick electronic way to get paid for things like this.  How do you all handle this?   Thanks in advance.

Thanks all.  Can any of you tell me what you pay for these respective services?  I suggested the lockbox at the house so I could go there at my convenience usually at the end of the day.  I could retrieve the forms ande cash and run the credit check that night.
