Accept payments using a dedicated mobile hardware or dongle accessory

Traditional Mobile POS uses card reader accessories that attach to the audio port, USB port, proprietary connector or via Bluetooth on mobile devices. These accessories offer magnetic stripe, EMV chip card and/or contactless acceptance and are sometimes referred to as “dongles.” Other accessories referred to as “sleeves” generally wrap around or encase the mobile device and may be capable of performing magnetic stripe, EMV chip and NFC-contactless transactions with PIN verification.
