Taking Payments on the Go

We run a Storage Yard business and after having closed our office due to Covid, I was meeting customers in the yard to complete the agreement and collect payment. I never had enough hands to hold everything and recently found a "padfolio" that, with a few modifications, holds everything I need . . . iPad, Square Reader, Pen, Notepad, etc. It is a Cooper Bizmate Padfolio Organizer Case for 8.9", 9", 9.7", 10", 10.1" Tablets . I found this on Amazon for $26.95 just a short while ago, now I see it listed for $10.95! Don't be fooled by the low price, even at $26.95 it's a bargain. I added a strap on the outside of the spine so it wouldn't slip off my hand, modified the pocket to hold the reader, and added a piece of sticky back velcro to securely hold the reader. My customers have been more than impressed with this setup in the yard - while husbands are storing their goods I often complete paperwork/payment with the wife without even having to get out of their vehicle! Afterwards I bring it inside to sterilize under a UV light.

I was so impressed with this I just wanted to share my experience with you all. I hope it will help someone out there. I have even reached out to the company to provide them my modifications and they are looking seriously at them 🙂
