What credit card readers are compatible with Sitelink?

MegumiM

We are currently using a cheap credit card reader that only uses the swipe feature. We're wanting to upgrade with the changing times to allow swipe, chip, and contactless pay. Does anyone know of one that does all three with no fees?

Sitelink has been working on it. Last I heard was they would have something by late this quarter.

I hope so, they've been working on it for a few years now.

Hello, we don't have an update on when to expect this feature yet, but I can assure you it's in the pipeline.

Any recommendations on a credit card reader that is compatible with Sitelink? Does Storable have any update on the status of them offering this feature?

@BrendaSchools I was told any swipe card reader that has USB connectivity should work. We ordered it off Amazon. The brand we got is called MagTek and we didn't have to download anything, just plugged it up and it worked.

How is the MagTek reader working for you with Sitelink? Any issues?

Did you get one that also does tap/applepay/googlepay?

MegumiM

Is there an option for apple pay?

They've been saying that for like 5 years. I won't be holding my breath.

So apple pay is not compatible with sitelink as of right now.

@MegumiM Did you find anything that did the EMV contact/contactless?

MegumiM

I did not. I wasn't sure who to contact. We just wanted to see if there was a way to get a payment processor where we can do chip, slide, or tap pay if that was possible.

How much do you want to bet that they are "working" on a card reader they will lease to us for a "low monthly fee", and it will be the only one recommended by them?
