[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Information on setting up Pay online

Thu Apr 25 17:34:17 EDT 2019

Hi Bill,

PINES uses STRIPE for online payments.  They cover our PCI compliance and
they are open source.  Their fees are competitive with Authorize.net and
Paypal. They are very easy to set up as well. Your library goes to
STRIPE.com and sets up an account. Then the API information is entered into
Evergreen on the Library Settings page. Also the setting for "can accept
credit cards" must be set to true.  Once you do that the payments can be
taken via "My Account" in the OPAC.

If you are at the conference, please feel free to look me up.  I will be
happy to talk with you about it.
