Equipment

Some Users have had more success with this USB swiper and it is lower in cost.
Symcode USB 3-Track POS Magnetic Stripe Card Reader

This is another option that has also worked:
MagTek Dynamag Card Reader (USB for Desktop/Laptop)

If you are on a Mac, we've found that the MagTeks will occasionally require a one-time PC connection in order to switch the device into Keyboard Emulation mode. If you aren't able to successfully swipe a card number into Text Edit, see the MagTek troubleshooting below. Otherwise, you will likely need to contact your supplier for steps on switching it to Keyboard Emulation mode.

Credit Card Reader Setup Information

You must have a "Card Present" account with Authorize.net, which is probably not the standard account type you may already have. We got one for testing it was only $20/month and a few pennies when you do more than 100 transactions.

Once that is setup, and you check the box to Enable Authorize.net in the settings, your payment form will default to credit card. Swipe the card in your reader with the cursor in the credit card number field.

MagTek Troubleshooting

If the light is green and nothing happens after you swipe the card, it's probably in "HID" mode instead of "KEYBOARD" mode. No problem! Just follow these steps to switch it back to keyboard mode. Note: This app only works in Windows.

1. Download and install the USB Swipe and Insert Reader demo at:
   https://www.magtek.com/Content/SoftwarePackages/99510026.exe
2. When prompted to install source code during the installation, choose no.
3. Left click Start > MagTek > USBMSR Demo. (Or in the "Type here to search" field, type "usbmsr" and click USBMSR Demo.)
4. Ensure your reader is plugged in. On the bottom of the program, It will say detected HID mode device.
5. Ensure the Set Focus To Text After Command Response and Auto Add Length check boxes are checked.
   
6. To the right of the "Send Msg" button, type 01 10 01
7. Click the Send Msg button.
8. Now erase what you just typed in that field.
9. To reset the reader (so the changes take effect), type 02 in the same field.
10. Click the Send Msg button.
11. Now test in Notepad.
