I'm in a four person team working on building a small POS embedded application. We are able to get credit card information via a usb swiper but we want to make API calls with that info for payments. Is this possible through your service? Also, could we do the same thing with chip information if we setup a reader ourselves?
Hi Nicholas,
Yes, we have a variety of options depending on your needs. If you are not looking to implement EMV and use only a USB reader, I'd suggest referencing our Getting Started with MercuryPay RESTful API , this document speaks to eCommerce setup but the functionality is same with the addition of card present tags to collect card data. This method would require you to use an encrypted reader unless you decide to PCI validate. The full spec can be found here.
Another option is triPOS Cloud Overview Cloud. You can view 60 second demo using triPOS Cloud - Amazon Echo or if you want to get under the hood, our VP of product speaks about the code and how to integrate to the solution here. This solution however is in pilot, so if you are interested about how to get started, please contact us.
Regards,
Chris
