First, review some Credit Card swiping suggestions, including a helpful video from MagTek. MagTek manufactures the iDynamo Credit Card Reader that is used with the POS app. It is important to note that the Credit Card Reader for POS app is uniquely encrypted to work with our POS app. If you purchased a credit card reader from some other source, it will not work with our POS app. If you need to purchase the Credit Card reader, you can do that from the Back Office by clicking on your user name and clicking Buy Hardware (if your user role grants you access to this feature).

If you are still having issues, let's walk through each of these procedures to troubleshoot the source of the problem:

Swiping suggestions

• Make sure the MSR is securely plugged in using the correct sleeve/adapter.
• Make sure there is room around the MSR for full swipe movement. Do not crowd the workspace. Allow plenty of space for full card swipe.
• Check to avoid any magnetic interference from other devices.
• Make sure to swipe the card with the magnetic stripe facing the magnetic read head. If the POS device screen is facing toward you, the magnetic stripe needs to be held with the stripe away from you.
• Check the card's magnetic stripe for damage.
• Do not swipe too fast. Do not swipe too slow.
• Swipe in a flat movement. Do not lift up or push down.
