we have app on device implementation. If our app can leverage the magnetic stripe reader on the Terminal to read the card information for us, we can process the Giftcard ourselves.

But i didn't find anything in the terminal docs about how to access the magnetic reader to read information

hmmm, that is a great question. i don't know the answer offhand but i will do some digging.

my suspicion is that this isn't something we'd directly support though.

which reader are you using?

[keen salmon]

wisepos e

and the new one, i think s700?

all the peripheral readers on these devices are just usb attachments? if so maybe we can access the hardware directly somehow?

[rustic ore]

ok cool, thanks for confirming. let me check a few things.

[keen salmon]

i know stripe uses it's own android kernel, does it have something in place to prevent exposure of these peripherals?

[rustic ore]

ok yeah i just double checked and this isn't something would directly support sadly

[keen salmon]

ok thank you
