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.

I have had multiple libraries ask for the responses to my question, so I will be compiling the answers that I get. I am glad that we are not the only library that would like this information... Thanks,

Hello Everyone, Our library currently doesn't accept debit/credit cards but we have made it our goal to be able to by the end of next year. We are looking for the best solution for both the library and our patrons (cost/convenience, etc.). If you currently accept debit/credit cards, what hardware/software/service do you use? Do you pass the transaction fee on to your patrons or does the library pay for it? Is there anything that we need to know when making a decision like this? Any information or advice that you are willing to share would be extremely helpful. Thank you in advance, Janelle
