Doing laundry on campus without a phone
We had the same problem but the HOA installed a cell phone repeater/extender on the roof. It was like $200, one time purchase, works great.
Also the washers and dryers take quarters too but that can be a pain too

If they are willing to go so far as to install repeaters, why not a credit card reader?

I wonder if whole thing is bought SaaS. So it is up to provider to get it to work.

They don't want to deal with credit card fraud and pci compliance when everyone can use the service on their phone or get quarters
