[Michlib-l] Accepting credit card payments at the Library

[Lyons Library]

Our library just started using Square to accept credit card payments. The card reader is free and they only charge you 2.75% per swipe. We have our reader plugged into an iPad Mini where we can ring up purchases by category and have patrons sign their receipts with a stylus. It's very user-friendly and the money gets deposited into our bank account in a timely manner. Some libraries waive the surcharge per swipe for patrons, but we tack on the 2.75% surcharge and inform patrons of this beforehand. So far we are very happy with Square.
