Hi!

I have noticed a trend in new small businesses to skip traditional merchant services provider and instead use an iPad or iPhone with a device like this http://www.payanywhere.com/ 

It is an easy solution and easy for people to learn.

At an institution I used to work at we used a traditional services provider, and the system was so complex that we would only use it for rentals!

Good luck!

Hello All, 

Our museum is looking to update our credit card systems - we currently use a fairly simple Intuit package - and I was hoping to gain a bit more insight into what similar museums have had success with. 

To specify our scope a bit, we are a small non-profit museum, seeing about 300 visitors per month. We also have a small gift shop, consisting of two glass cases in our lobby. Our total credit card transactions are typically less than $10,000 per month. 

We are first and foremost looking for an affordable merchant services provider that is suitable for this level of income. In the future, we would also like to find a comprehensive point-of-sale system that can manage more facets of museum income (admissions, store, membership, ticketing, donations, etc.), which we currently keep track of manually. 

I would love to hear about any merchant services or POS systems that you've found successful:  Any recommendations, suggestions, or advice would be much appreciated!

Thank you!
