I think online businesses and any non retail business should set no cash policies from an account perspective and an audit perspective to make sure no fraud happens or no customers coma eback saying they did something they didn't do.
I think I would accept cash, only if I operated an offline local business. Many customers still like to pay in cash. It is still a very appealing method for them. You will have to set procedures to track how the cash flows though.
