Any Extension Continuing Education unit may purchase a credit card terminal for use in accepting credit cards.  Information on the costs of the unit are shown below.  Before a unit may accept credit cards, however, all unit staff who will be processing credit card transactions must complete an initial security training and sign a Cardholder Data Processing Agreement & Annual Training Form.

In addition to the standard FD130 machine, for which the costs are shown below, there is also an option to purchase a cellular machine for a higher cost.

For questions or to sign up, contact the Extension Fiscal team at 573-882-7146 or email [email protected].
