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

[Bob Patin]

I have, and it's not a good path.

All of the readers I found use the gateways that go with them; I couldn't find a reader that would basically work just like a swiper does on a desktop machine.

If you're okay using the gateway that goes with the machine, you can find one, but my client wanted to use their existing gateways, not the one that went with the machine.

Sorry I don't have better news...
