Read magnetic non payment card

Hello,

is it possible to read a non payment magnetic card in my app?

I found no documentation about this and the example code does not seem to support magnetic card, and it does not even work.

Thank you

Yes it’s possible with some limitations. Please refer to https://poynt.github.io/developer/onterminal/integrating-gift-cards-and-custom-tenders.html.

The link you provide seems to refer to using cards as tenders for payment.

What we actually need is reading the content of a magnetic card inside our application for the terminal, so the result should be a simple String with the content of the card.

Thank you

@it.gyb Please look at http://poynt.github.io/developer/onterminal/integrating-gift-cards-and-custom-tenders.html#activating-reloading-checking-balance-of-a-card (you would be using the same API).

Working sample is in https://github.com/poynt/PoyntSamples/blob/master/samplegiftcardprocessor/src/main/java/co/poynt/samplegiftcardprocessor/MainActivity.java
