The main payment method used by the BATC is Paypal, we just swallow hard and accept the payment charges ( 20p + about 3% a variable!!) Some 90% of our receipts come this way to the cost is built in.
We abandoned shop style credit card terminals due to cost and lack of automation. But there are some new mobile phone systems that are worth looking into, but you need to be able to tie the payment to a member/shop transaction. Not sure how it works in this situation?
It is tricky correlating payments to members and can take a LOT of sorting out. We do take payments by BACs and the small number involved makes sorting them easier. If there were a lot it would be much harder.
The old fashioned cheque in an envelope works well as you have the payment, and what it is for in the envelope in your hand.
Standing orders are to be avoided like the plague.
