Payment Center’s payment page now supports credit card readers. This is especially useful in retail locations or on trade shows where you are face to face with your customer, because you can simply swipe your customer’s credit card instead of manually typing the numbers in.

Note that we have tested with the Magtek Swipe Reader – USB (21040102), but we don’t see any reason why it won’t work with other readers. The reader needs to be configured in keyboard emulation mode. Please refer to your reader’s documentation for more details.

Also, note that not all payment pages within payment center support this functionality. At this time only this page supports the functionality.

 

Auto-Submit On Swipe

The Auto Submit On Swipe controls the behavior of the payment page after a card has been swiped. If the flag is checked (this is the default), it will instantly process the payment right after the card has been swiped. If the flag is not checked, the standard payment process applies (i.e. swipe card, click Next, review payment, click Submit). This flag can be found in Payment Center Settings tab.
