Hi peoples! Was wondering what payment methods like PayPal, venmo, straight cash, etc. are used at contests. Just wanted to make sure so that I don’t go to nats and not be able to buy anything.

Thanks!

Pretty much exactly what you just listed.

Some large vendors might have a square but it’s mostly just Venmo, cash app, PayPal or cash on hand.
