Compatible Retail Hardware
Introduction
Our payment gateway now supports several third party hardware devices to enhance the functionality of your gateway account. These devices allow you to swipe your customers’ cards, which decreases the risk of fraud while possibly lowering your per-transaction fees. Several solutions are available to match your business needs.
We offer peripheral devices to attach to your computer - these will be recognized by our Virtual Terminal or Smart Screens order forms in any major web browser, allowing you to use all of the gateway’s functionality you’re already familiar with while getting the benefit of card-in-hand authorizations. Additionally, you can connect a thermal printer to your computer to print POS receipts for you and your customers.
Please contact your sales agent for more information about how these products can benefit your business.
If you have a POS device that you know to be compatible with our gateway, please let us know, and we will add it to a table below.

Notes:
You may use any credit card reader you like, as long as the reader supports a Keyboard Emulation Software Interface.
To test your reader to see if it’s compatible, open any word processor (e.g. Microsoft Word) or text editor (e.g. Windows Notepad). Then swipe a credit card through your reader. If you see the contents of the credit card’s magstripe typed into your open document, you can use it with our payment gateway.
