After verification we place a note on the account that use of the digital barcode is OK for that patron. So far I've only seen the scannable ones on the app., but we would probably do the same even if it weren't scannable.

If so, do you accept it only if it is on an app and can be scanned? What is your policy/procedure? Thanks!
