[Blindtlk] Credit-card reader information

[Julie J.]

I use PayPal Here.  The ap is free and when I signed up, I was offered a 
free card reader.  The card reader plugs into the audio jack of my iPhone 6. 
The ap is accessible.  I enter the customer charges, then when the screen 
pops up with payment choices I plug in the card reader and swipe the card. 
When you have the card reader plugged in you lose the audio.   When you 
unplug the card reader you will know if the card swiped correctly. you can 
plug it in and try again if it didn't take the first time.  I practiced with 
it beforehand so I felt comfortable with how quickly to swipe and which 
direction it goes. The next screen has the customer signing for the purchase 
with their finger or a stylus.  On that screen you have to turn Voice Over 
off so they can sign.  Once they've signed I turn Voice Over back on and 
continue the final details.

I like it because it integrates with my business PayPal account.  It's less 
accounts and services I have to keep track of, having everything in one 
place is a huge convenience.

I was really intimidated by the whole thing at first.  Practicing helped me 
a lot.  Now it's no stress at all to take customer payments.

Good luck with your new book!
Julie

   Good afternoon. Is there an accessible device or iPhone app I can 
purchase to take credit-card payments? I am going to have book signings soon 
and want to have that option. Thank you.       Sarah
