I found an interesting solution. A company called MagTek makes the card readers 
and a web browser (MagneFlex) that interprets special urls and controls the 
card reader. We are testing it right now.

We have been using NodeJS locally on the client machine to interface with the 
USB port and the middleware from the vendor. Then using cross domain scripting 
to communicate with the WebObjects server.

A long time ago I had to interact with signature pads and hand-held scanners.  
The client hardware with the peripherals ran software which exposed its 
services via small http servers and could be accessed by the browser.
This implementation had some fancy trendy name which I have forgotten…sorry.
The peripheral vendor might have the right software/drivers already.

Re: Webobjects POS

2017-07-18 Thread Samuel Pelletier 
Hi,

Interfacing peripherals with web app is always a challenge. Is is even more 
with serial devices like POS printers and EMV terminals. There is basically 2 
options I see:

1- Using some sort of plugin on the web browser that would allows your code to 
access the physical world outside the browser. This create fragile setups.

2- Using either a custom build box (using raspberry Pi for example) or a 
standard serial to IP interface that would connect to your app and provide the 
interface to the serial devices and possibly any other peripherals required. 
This box is assigned some identifier liked to a user of a user terminal.

With option 2, your server is connected to a set of real peripherals and can 
communicate with them. You need to write the server part and find a way to 
associate your connected user to it's peripherals. You also need to implement 
the protocol used by the peripheral.

If your EMV terminals are IP, there is maybe a way to connect them directly to 
your server.

I have done this for label printer and some dry contacts in a shop.

Michael,
We are using one application that is integrated with a clearing house and that 
acts as a virtual terminal using a card swiper. We have not yet figured a good 
way to integrate chip readers. I will be happy to discuss details off-list if 
you’re interested.

Has anyone developed a POS system using WO? How were you able to integrate the 
credit card terminals?
