[OPLINLIST] Card Payment Options at Circulation Desk

[Kelsey Wicker]

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to decide on the best way to start accepting debit/credit card payments at the Circulation Desk at my library.  We won't do very many transactions in any given month, but I think it would certainly be worthwhile to join the 21st century on this front.

My first thought was to set up a Venmo or PayPal account with a QR code to scan and just skip the hassle of a card reader altogether, but please send me your thoughts on how you handle this at your library.  Thanks!


Sincerely,
