Re: Online Payments

These fees are actually pretty reasonable if you consider the alternative, which is to set up your own account with a merchant services company so you can take credit or debit card payments. These usually have a monthly rental fee for terminal hardware, ON TOP of the credit card processing fees which are still in the 1-2% range.

FRC teams are probably low volume or seasonal so the pay-as-you-go nature of services like PayPal or Square are ideal for our situations.
