The non-EMV integration described in this article is considered a legacy solution. See the Bolt Desktop Solution for information on integrating MSR and EMV tokenization and payments.

Introduction

The CardPointe platform supports simple integrations to MagTek devices (USB or Mobile) to tokenize payment cards using the CardSecure API or Hosted iFrame Tokenizer, and then use the token to submit an authorization request using the CardPointe Gateway API.

Prerequisites

Application Server

  • Must be built on a web-based or distributed architecture
  • Must be able to read data input from the device using its specific connection type, defined below.
  • Should include offline processing capabilities

Terminal Device

  • Connection Types: 
    • USB
    • 30-pin
    • Lighting port
    • Auxiliary
  • Supported Hardware
    • ID TECH
      • SREDkey 2 (USB)
      • SecuRed (USB)
    • MagTek
      • MagneSafe (USB)
