Credit Card Swipe

There is a convenient quick-add feature that creates a patron by swiping their credit card. This might be best used during the admittance process for Auctions. The process works as follows:

• You start by setting the Patron List window to search by credit card. For more info on the Patron List window, click here.
• Then, when you swipe a credit card, it will find the patron if that card number is in the database.
• If the card number does not exist in the database, TM gives you the option to quick add the patron attending the auction.
• Patrons added in this way will be 'limited profile patrons'. That is, the name on the card along with their credit card on file stored in the database.
• In an auction setting, if there are bid packets, you can give the patron the patron number created during the swipe.
• You can now sell auction items to this patron using the auction process.
