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!
