At some point I'd like us to

1) take credit cards without an excess fee for the shop,
2) not pay Nick Pinkston our membership dues

I've been using paypal + square for most of my receivables, but I often take money from Nowheristan and Whatever the EU is Called Today. I don't know if I'm getting the best deal but I'm also not trying to get lost in pennies and nickles. $.05 vs $.25 on a $30.00 payment isn't nearly as important as the pain of exchange rates for Euros, Yen, or an International Money Order. (Or the $15 Canadian I have on my desk that I'm not sure where to take other than Canada.)

Well, no harm in having the option even if not everyone can do it, but
good to know there are variations for the participating banks, thanks
for the heads up.

Fifth Third.  I don't think they even supported PopMoney till recently.
Oh well.

What bank do you use? PNC I know doesn't charge, but I think that some
banks do.

    So, didn't I hear everyone say PopMoney was free?  It wants to
    charge me a buck for the transaction.

        Hey all,
           For maybe the first time ever, and by mere minutes, I've
        sent out the monthly dues reminder emails on time. If you
        don't get one, you're good (paid ahead or have a recurring
        payment already scheduled).

        Since we have a bunch of new members, and as a reminder to
        existing members, we have a few different ways to pay dues.
        The important thing is we want to make it easy for members to
        pay dues without burdening the organization (i.e. the
        treasurer, i.e. me) too much.

        We have in the past several months expanded our options to
        provide options that have lower fees (or even no fees). Listed
        in order that we'd prefer to receive dues, please pick the
        highest one on the list that works for you.
