Scholastic Student Exchange Offer the Ease and Flexibility of Credit Cards at your Family Event
Have you ever had customers whose purchases were limited by the amount of cash in their wallet/purse? Or a customer who forgot a checkbook? We are pleased to provide you with a way to accept credit card and check card payments at your Book Fair.

As an added incentive for accepting credit cards, you will receive Customer Rewards in the form of vouchers that you can redeem in our exclusive Instructional Resource Catalog

Benefits to accepting credit cards: Credit Cards

  • More payment methods available to customers
  • Teachers and parents tend to buy more
  • Higher revenues through impulse purchases
  • Increased ability to purchase higher priced reference or hardcover books
  • More books go into classrooms to help students and teachers

Easy steps to success:

  1. Chairperson promotes credit card payments through letters to parents, flyers, and signage.
  2. Credit card box arrives with the fair. Chairperson sets up machine and credit card slips at the cashier table. Use the Credit Card Processing Guidelines (PDF) and the Quick Reference Guide (PDF) to train your volunteers.
  3. Customers purchase books with credit cards.
  4. Chairperson completes financial form and returns credit card slips to Scholastic.
