Campus Store POS System

• We are operating  with student charge accounts now.  The bookstore balance is transferred to Student Billing each month. (For now, the integration is via CSV. That will change when we complete the migration.)
• The software can also take cash, credit card and Google Pay/Apple Pay via Square on an iPad POS station. 
• The Windows-based POS station can take credit cards (using a processor other than Square). 
• Odin also offers a prepaid debit option. We are considering that for next year (which would get us out of the student charge account business).
• Parents this year can see on a website what their children purchase within about 15 minutes of the purchase. If we switch to prepaid, the student and parent can use an app to manage the account.

@Josceline Reardon - We are using the on-premises version. The cloud version was not quite ready when we started using the service. It runs on a dedicated virtual server instance. Odin has remote log-in abilities to that server to do maintenance and updates.

After the initial set-up of hardware and software (which involved IT a good bit), we are now mostly hands-off. The bookstore keeps it running, and they contact Odin for help when they need it. The only thing that I do is add student photos to the server each fall.

Since I posted my original response, Student Billing has gone away. We are now using FACTS for student billing. Our Odin software generates a couple of CSV files each month that are imported into FACTS. The bookstore and Business Office people handle it - IT is not involved at all.
