Hi Mark,

OIC. I understand now. We are not using a CMS right now but actually have
been asked to move our library website into Terminal 4 CMS selected by the
university media office by the end of this October. (Yup, another
proprietary CMS one hears about first time.) So that may be a concern in
this case. I see that Stripe has a plugin for WP and we have several WP
sites so that may be a fast option for us as well. Thanks for mentioning
Square. I think the circ desk folks at mpow does not want to handle
payment at all and move all payment to online. But I will let them know
about Square as an option. OK if I email you with questions if I run into
any issue while investigating Stripe?

If you have the library payment page using Stripe accessible without
authentication by any chance, I would love to see it as well.

Thanks!
Bohyun
