How we can use MAGTEK credit card swiper with chrome or firefox? -
right usb credit card swipers supported ie using activex controls. possible use them chrome or firefox. have magtek swiper.
thanks in advance help
while late, should work firefox windows, @ least.
magtek has signed java applet interfaces swipe device. have used in application, chrome dropped java applet support, i'm looking new solution chrome, too.
http://www.magtek.com/support/documentation/download_software.asp (search text jmsr)
<div class="javapplet"> <object type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.6" height="3" width="30"> <param name="code" value="jmtcardreader.class" /> <param name="archive" value="jmtcardreader.jar" /> <param name="cache_option" value="no"> <param name="classloader_cache" value="true"> <!-- param name="java_arguments" value="-djnlp.packenabled=true"/ --> applet failed run. no java plug-in found. </object> </div>
you add own javascript handle results of swipe, set form input values, etc. example javascript nice place start. mtjmsr.js , mtjmsr.html show has been collected card swipe.
i use stylesheet "hide" javaapplet div making text same color background. can see results selecting in area if needed.
update: 9/2/2016 magtek has created, essentially, web server host install on indivivual pcs connected card reader such edynamo reader. allows browser page on individual's computer communicate through javascript reader , card information.
have used windows version, think may have versions other oss, too.
update nov 10, 2016
solved our organization
i created chrome extension has rights communicate magtek server mentioned above.
don't think allowed share code, process is:
- the extension background process , content process.
- the content process gets installed in sandbox on pages allowed in manifest. adds event listener button known on our card-swipe page.
- user clicks known button.
- extension handles event - asks background process initiate card swipe , obtain card data.
- the content process prepares form submit using card data (since sending our data paypal). populate known inputs on page.
this working both magtek encrypting readers , older non-encrypting readers.
i hope clear , useful someone.
