The app supports Ingenico and IDTech card readers connected over WiFi, Ethernet, or Bluetooth BLE. It also enables you to accept checks. Transactions entered in the app are sent over a secure channel to the SlimCD gateway, which then processes them using the processor configured in your SlimCD account. When a chip reader is used, transactions can be entered by card insert, tap, or swipe. Manual entry is also supported. The app also includes reporting that allows you to search transactions, view daily reports, and view settlement batches. In addition, you can adjust the transaction flow to fit your needs using the settings available in the app. Note: Card readers must be properly injected with the required encryption key or keys before use.
