Chris H, you are correct, the proper term is "swiped". That said, the
processors in Europe are different than the US, so I'm not sure how much
will overlap.
If anyone is interested, I did some research on the features of the existing
integrated payment services/software. My specific requirements are support
for swiped transactions and linux. Authorize.Net may satisfy those
requirements, or I may end up writing an integration to a processor that
supports internet connectivity.
Full disclosure: I worked for ClearCommerce.
Authorize.Net
Aquired by First Data.
I believe it is available as a service.
Supports swiped and card not present transactions.

I think the distinction may be "swiped" vs manually entered. Maybe it
helps ring a bell.
