This is Part 2 of a 2 part (90 minute) amazing conversation with Rick Kalman, Director of Product Management for FileMaker, and Robert Holsey, Senior Product Manager for FileMaker. Rick and Robert talk about, among other things, Claris Connect, the benefits of acquisition instead of strategic partnerships, save as XML, responsive layouts, Apple's influence, live database development, moving to a web first strategy and changes to the relationship graph. We are very honored that they took so much of their time to talk with us candidly and openly.
Part 1 was released last Wednesday and has had over 700 downloads. Thanks to all for listening. Steven Blackwell tweeted that it was an 'Exceptionally significant PodCast' and that 'All #FileMaker developers should listen.'

The 24U's latest FileMaker plug-in now allows for mobile custom apps to securely process credit card payments on the go.
Prague, CZ -- June 28, 2019 -- 24U Software has released Gonector 1.2.2, a new version of the latest FileMaker plug-in designed specifically for mobile custom apps running on iPads and iPhones. The new version adds direct support for mobile payment terminals from Infinite Peripherals and Ingenico, making it possible to seamlessly integrate credit card payments processing directly to the custom app developed with the FileMaker platform.
About payment terminals
Accepting credit card payments on the go has strict security requirements, which are even not the same on the east and west sides of the Atlantic ocean. Common approach is that the mobile sales person is equipped with a stand-alone payment terminal, so whatever amount they need to charge needs to be manually entered on the terminal's keyboard.
If the source of the data about the sale is a custom app running on an iPhone or iPad, the most convenient way to implement the payment process is to integrate the payment terminal directly with the app, so that the sales person does not have to re-type the payment amount to the terminal. The application also securely receives confirmation or denial of the payment, so it immediately and reliably knows, whether the payment was successful.
The payment terminal takes care of reading encrypted data from the customer's credit card. In Europe it also takes care of directly processing the payment transaction online with the credit card issuer. In North America the payment terminal can just provide the encrypted data to the custom app, which then uses payment processing service, such as Stripe, to actually process the payment transaction.
About Gonector
Gonector is a FileMaker plug-in that allows a native application for iPhone or iPad to communicate directly with mobile hardware devices. Being able to interact with professional mobile devices enables you to use the FileMaker platform to create a POS, Inventory and lots of other heavy-duty mobile business apps with friendly, fast, and reliable user interface.
The plug-in already supports mobile receipt printers, RFID readers, barcode scanners, digital weighing scales, and even NFC reading built into iPhone 7 or newer, which does not require any additional hardware to work.
Since the mobile processing differs between North America and Europe, 24U has chosen one popular brand of payment terminals for each continent, Infinite Peripherals for North America, and Ingenico for Europe, and added support for their devices to the Gonector plug-in to allow such seamless integration for custom apps developed using the FileMaker platform.
Availability and Pricing of Gonector
Licenses for Gonector start at US$499 per app deployed to up to 20 users.
License for Payment Terminals Edition of Gonector is available for US$7999 and includes implementation support for one type of payment terminal.

The new website makes it easier to find relevant information about 24U's services and the updated FileMaker plug-ins are now independent on 3rd party license validation services and better optimized for FileMaker 18
Prague, CZ -- June 28, 2019
24U Software has released a completely new company website, making it easier and faster to find relevant information about 24U's services and products. The new website has all information no more than 3 clicks away from the homepage, so that customers can find what they are looking for more efficiently than ever before. Along with the new website release, also all 24U's FileMaker plug-ins were updated to no longer depend on any 3rd party license validation services and to perform better especially with the recently released FileMaker 18 platform.

About 24U Plug-Ins
24U is currently offering 9 ready to use plug-ins for the FileMaker platform. For the last few years all 24U's plug-ins used the 3rd party license verification engine from eSellerate. Since eSellerate has recently announced and end of life of their services, 24U has updated all the 9 plug-ins to use a new way to verify license validity, independently on eSellerate, so that the plug-ins won't stop working due to not being able to verify valid license.
Along with the license validation functionality, 24U has taken this opportunity to also include latest minor improvements and optimizations in the new build of each plug-in, including optimizations for better compatibility with the recently released FileMaker 18 platform. This update is available free of charge to all customers using the current version and affects all the following plug-ins:
