[LIBRARYDIR] Credit card use

[Hersh-tudor, Andrew]

Hello -

We just recently started using PaperCut's credit / debit card system. We have only had a few dozen transactions so far, but the interesting thing is the amount added by card versus at the cash machine in the library (well, libraries - we have libraries in Omak and Wenatchee, and PaperCut cash machines at both locations). Credit transactions average $7.57; cash transactions average $0.58.  I have no idea what that means - it's easier to add higher amounts by card rather than feeding bills into a machine? You're more likely to have a card if you're more affluent? Cash transactions are more likely on an emergency basis (paper due in 10 minutes, adding just enough cash to get it printed)? Anyway, that's our experience so far.

Hello,

We would like to start allowing students to use credit/debit cards to add money to their student/print cards.

Do any of you already allow students to use credit or debit cards for this purpose?

Thanks,

Leslie
