    Accept In-Person Credit Card Payments

    • If you’ll need to accept payments in your office, at on-site events, or anywhere that you’ll need to physically scan credit cards, you must complete the Merchant Department Application. The Treasury team will work with you to determine your needs and get the equipment you’ll need to accept payments. Learn more about accepting in-person credit card payments.

     

    Accept Online Credit Card Payments

    • If you want to accept payments online, then Tufts Mall is your solution. Tufts Mall provides a modern, secure e-commerce platform where your organization can open a store to sell goods and services. It’s an ideal tool for selling registrations and merchandise and accepting donations. Learn more about opening a store in the Tufts Mall and selling online.
