Collect swiped or tapped dataBeta

Available in: All supported countries for BBPOS Chipper2X BT and Stripe M2 using Android SDK and iOS SDK 3.7.0 and up

Use the Terminal SDK to read non-PCI payment instruments, such as gift cards, using the reader’s hardware interfaces like the magnetic stripe reader. This feature isn’t available offline.

After swiping the card, the Terminal SDK provides a tokenised data object. Securely retrieve the cleartext track data on your backend with the token.

The Terminal reader only reads and stores cleartext magstripe data that follows these formats:

• The card data is available on track 2 only.
• The card data uses only the ISO/IEC-7813 track 2 start sentinel ; and end sentinel ?, without the separator character.
• The card data consists only of numeric digits.

Contact the Terminal team with your card format and BIN ranges if your card numbers don’t match one of these approved formats.
