[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] paypal credit card payment

2013-04-05 Thread Joe
Good day everybody. I had a quick question about accepting credit cards through paypal for those libraries that do. Do any of you charge a convenience fee to your public for charging fine payments? Tinkering with a test server, it looks like the entire payment process occurs from within

Hi- Our board of trustees decided to absorb that cost ourselves. Some libraries put a minimum on fines patrons can pay with their credit card. Say they can only pay the fine if it is 5.00 and higher- I can't remember if there is a way to do this with Evergreen or not- but that helps them justify

We have another question, can you have separate paypal accounts for different libraries (so libraries use their own accounts). I'm not sure we want to do this but the question has come up. Tim Spindler C/W MARS On Fri, Apr 5, 2013 at 11:59 AM, Tim Spindler tjspind...@gmail.com wrote: I have

In Evergreen 2/3/4 there is an option to click for Hold is behind circ desk in the Edit Patron screen. The place I am referring to is the check box that would say that the patron wants you to hold the book behind the desk. We have one library in our system that is experimenting with

Please note that PayPal terms do *not* permit charging a fee for usage. That is, you cannot charge Patrons a fee to offset the processing fees that PayPal charges you. /djb On 5 Apr 2013 08:29, Joe knuev...@oplin.org wrote: Good day everybody. I had a quick question about accepting credit

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 64-bit Linux client?

2013-04-05 Thread Buzzy Nielsen
We've been using a native Linux staff client on a few of our workstations here to much success. We use a 32-bit version of Linux Mint Debian Edition. However, I'd like to start moving some of our staff computers over to a 64-bit version. I tested the staff client on a 64-bit Ubuntu workstation

I've been using in my code/test environments, not having issues (Gentoo). Works just as well as the 32bit one here. I use the regular `make rigrelease` for the staff client and then package it with xulrunner 64bit and a shell script. The build script I use is here:

Hi Tim and Lisa. I was testing PayPal in our Fenno-localized Evergreen instance and came upon an interesting find in the TPAC templates. You can set the minimum payment amount there. There is ready code for it, just change 0 to 5. I think we are going to just absorb the cost. For a 5€ PayPal

I agree about perhaps getting legal council involved. There is a definite contradiction there, unless governments are not considered merchants for the sake of their policies.. Although, we're also talking about paying a fee, and the language about surcharges also relate to selling
