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

[Patricia Braden]

Allison, 


Does the iPad interact with your check-in system to show the fines were paid on the patron record or do you have to mark the fines paid there separately? 


Thanks, 
Patty

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.

Hello All! We are investigating doing this, and of course the best place to get information on the best, cheapest, easiest method to use is to ask my library peers.
