[OPLINLIST] Card Payment Options at Circulation Desk

[Brad Stephens]

We use Square and have been very pleased.  Our volume is pretty modest,
maybe $150-$200 monthly.  They are a little more costly for processing than
other options (last month our fees to process $214.00 were about $8.00).
Given our modest charges and the fact that their hardware and support are
very good I'm happy with the setup.
