Card Swipers
You may set up as many cashiering stations (computers) at your event as you would like. A cashier can choose to type in the guest cardholder data, or for quicker, more accurate entry, swipe it in using a credit card reader linked to the computer via the USB port. All stations need not be equipped with a card reader.
Important: The card swiper model you need depends upon the merchant account provider you choose. Please refer below for more information along with sources for purchasing card readers.
