[FX.php List] Credit Card Reader for mobile device + web publishing

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Hi folks,

Have been asked by existing client to test implement a credit card reader for mobile devices which will run a mobile version of existing web-based order system.

There are a ton of nearly-free readers available where the readers are hard-coded to an existing payment processing service.  I'm looking to implement without the service....we will use the client's existing merchant processing account and FileMaker.

It seems that the critical components are having both good quality hardware plus an API to allow the reader to talk with the phone

Has any one gone down this path before?

Thanks,

Jonathan Schwartz
