Credit Card processing for Glider Clubs
Paypal is an interesting idea. We have Internet at the club. A walk
up member could send the money in my name (or the treasurer's). I
would then reimburse the club. I would have to verify that the money
arrived afterwards. Kind of the long way around. There is also a
PayPal cost hit to the club. How much is that? Cheaper than a credit
card?
We tend to get lots of gift certificates from national organizations.
We also sell our own. Many have the cash. With people without any of
those, we send them to the truck stop 1/8 mile away to use their cash
machine. Of those I will bet that 80% never come back.
My $0.02.
