Credit Card strip reader integrated with FM?

[Kent Searight]

Hi all,

I've looked around and can't find anything that integrates a credit card "swipe" reader with FM. Specifically, what I want to do is be able to swipe a credit card and have the info on the card's magnetic strip brought into FileMaker.

Anyone heard of anything that does that?

Thanks in advance!

Kent:

I recall that FM Web School had a magstripe reader (and plugin) at the FM Developer's Conference this year. I haven't heard anything else about it since then, but you can check them out at:

www.fmwebschool.com

Depending on the interface on the magstripe reader, you might also want to look at using the Troi serial plugin. They're at:

Many thanks, Stanley!

Between those two I think I've found what I'm looking for.
