Payment System

Get familiar with the Scholastic register that comes with your Book Fair. 

How it works

When your Fair is delivered, it will include a red or white register to process payments. The only difference between the two registers is how to set them up and get connected—everything else is identical. This payment system makes Fair checkout quick and easy because it lets you: 

o

Accept all major credit cards, most tap-to-pay cards, Scholastic eGift Cards, and cash

o

Process eWallets by looking up shoppers by name or scanning a printed barcode

o

Round up purchases to the nearest dollar for Share the Fair™ contributions

o

Run financial reports in real time
