Hi Robert,
I attached the swipe device and opened up notepad and swiped a card. Nothing was read into notepad. This has worked successfully for me for testing scanners, etc. I will try to research the driver end like you and Wayne suggested. Thanks Steve _____ From: Robert Shubert [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 01, 2010 12:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Witango Card present app Steve, Years ago a user built something like this. He used a USB card swipe device that read in card data and dropped it into a field on an HTML form. That was then processed by Witango. In this case, it used PayPal's PayFlowPro gateway. I'm assuming that the USB device had some sort of driver that either automatically read a card track as if it were keyboard input, or perhaps there was a little helper app that did that bit of work. Unfortunately, I never saw it function, and while I was the host for the Witango app, and did work on the PayFlow integration, I wasn't part of the development of the application. This was also several years ago (2005-2007), so I'm not too sure what information I can dig up. It is true that you only need one of the swipe tracks. Track 1 is longer, having some additional information, and is preferable. Track 2 is just the basics (cardnumber, exp, etc). In the case of PayFlow, that data was simply sent to the gateway software in place of all the separate numbers that people usually type in.

I can't figure out how to capture the data transmitted by the swipe device. The docs indicate that either track 1 or track 2 data should be read from the magnetic strip. I have an app for processing "Card Not Present" or "MOTO" transactions where the required information is entered manually. Any direction you can provide would be appreciated.
