[Michlib-l] Accepting debit/credit cards

[Sandie Schulenburg]

Hello,
   At the Brighton District Library, we are currently using Square  (
squareup.com).  It works quite well for us; the library pays the
transaction fee.  Previously, we had other cash registers that accepted
credit cards.
  I like Square because

   - it is easy for all to use
   - can track items, sales easily
   - refunds are easier
   - can use offsite (we used it at a fund-raising event0

  If you'd like further information, let me know.
