External card reader would be much more expensive because it has to (IIRC banks enforce it (probably thanks to insurance companies)) encrypt all communication with the "register" (in this case iPad). So it can't be just some dummy device.
- joelhaasnoot 15y agoYou can make a dummy device that works exactly the same way but has a large physical footprint can't you? Yes, it has a higher cost, but POS systems are very costly too.
- driverdan 15y agoAFAIK only PIN pad units require encryption but my knowledge could be out of date.
