Can you explain the usecase a bit more? Am a little confused by what you mean by bypass or fill out

winter matrix Nov 30, 2022, 2:08 PM

#

Sure

#

We have a .Net application that our clients use to accept payments. We have it setup to use the Card element on the client side and we initialize a payment intent object with server code, pass the client secret to the client code and then mount the card element (pointing at one of our connect accounts - depending on the client). Our users can type in the card info for their customers just fine, but they want to be able to swipe or scan or chip read the card and have that "fill out" the card element for them so they don't have to type it all in. I have tried setting up just a generic card magnetic strip swiper, but I cannot get that working without just passing the raw card info across the API, and I don't want to do that (as it's not recommended by you all). So would one of Stripe's proprietary card readers work? Would we be able to capture the card info and get that across the API using a token or payment intent id without having to pass the raw card data?

Why do you need to fill out a card element though? If you are accepting in person payments, tap to pay, chip, or swipe should be all you need: https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/quickstart

Accept in-person payments

#

I don't need to fill it out. Bypassing the element altogether would be perfectly fine

#

So that would work? Either the M2 or the WisePOS E would get the job done?

#

I recommend reading through our terminal docs to make sure it fits your usecase

#

But terminal allows you to accept in person payments with our API

#

Which sounds like it's all you need

#

https://stripe.com/docs/terminal

Terminal

Use Stripe Terminal to accept in-person payments and extend Stripe payments to your point of sale.

#

Not available in all countries though

#

but they would need an iPad or Android device to run some custom software, right?

#

It depends on the reader. We have a javascript sdk that works with some readers: https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/payments/setup-integration?terminal-sdk-platform=js

Set up your integration

Set up a Stripe Terminal SDK or server-driven integration to accept in-person payments.

And even server-driven: https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/payments/setup-integration?terminal-sdk-platform=server-driven

ah

#

that looks promising

#

thank you for your help

#

This has given me a potential path forward. Now to just get those that hold the purse strings onboard 🙂

#

No problem! I would just make sure Terminal works in your country. If the server-driven integration path is the one you want to do, it's important to note it only works in the US: https://support.stripe.com/questions/terminal-server-driven-integration
