Bruce Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Have been waiting for a while to get a pay pal pay here now device for my phone. Have accepted credit card/debit card payments for my computers/services for a long time nw, but wanted an easier way to do it. The device arrived a few days ago, and I have had the opportunity to use it a couple times already. I like it! It plugs into the headphone jack on my phone and gives me the ability to scan/swipe credit and debit cards no matter where I am. Awesome little device https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/credit-card-reader Link to post Share on other sites
Y kawika Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I've seen those and am sure that they will eventually be available for android tablets as well, they're not quite there yet, but it would make it easier than having to manually do it all on line. Cool tool! Y Link to post Share on other sites
wdeydwondrer Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Is it just drawing power from the headphone jack and using bluetooth or nfc to connect, or is it all going through the headset? Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 I've seen those and am sure that they will eventually be available for android tablets as well, they're not quite there yet, but it would make it easier than having to manually do it all on line. Cool tool! Y Actually the app works with my tablet, the device is recognized but the device won't scan a card for me, however the application also has the ability to manually enter card information, orrrrrrrrrrr you can click the scan button and it will look at the card with the camera and enter the information automatically that way. So while they do not support tablets for the device just yet the application works just fine on my tablet. The only caveat was that I could not install the app over the internet because my tablet was not "officially supported" so I simply installed the apk file and the app works fine. The phone works perfectly with the device and other aspects of the app. wdeywondrer, It does not use blue tooth or NFC for the connection. Those services are not turned on on either of my devices, it simply works through the headphone jack. The only service it does turn on is GPS for location and that is it.
