ONE GREAT SYSTEM | TWO OPTIONS FOR PAYMENT PROCESSING
The Bidstation system runs on a Windows computer and uses one of two payment processing options.
1: With Square, iOS devices are used and internet is required for card on file capture.
2: With Bidstation Offline, no internet is required and laptops with card readers are used for capturing cards on file.
Choose the online version with Square if your event has basic internet connectivity available.
