    I bought this for our plant club to process remote sales when many people don't like carrying a lot of cash. It helped our sales increase and saved time processing the sale of multiple items at different prices. It has become a great tool that we can rely on. The processing fees are relatively inexpensive when you consider losing sales because you can't accept credit or debit cards. A great purchase from Best Buy!
