Ask HN: Credit Card reader similar to Square but with API
Hi,
I have a client who is looking to integrate card reader into their application and they really like the square card reader and they want to offer a similar card reader to their customers to use it with the app.
Does anyone know where can I buy the card readers (in bulk) with SDK for iOS and Android?

- shliachtx 12y agoFor the same price, how do you know the phone using Square isn't using a skimmer? I've heard that Square doesn't encrypt the data...
- rahimnathwani 12y agoThat's why I wrote "or any similar reader".

- hartard 12y agoHave you had a look at the Square Commerce API? If Android is not a hard requirement, there is an iOS SDK: https://connect.squareup.com/docs/api#commerce-api-overview https://connect.squareup.com/docs/api#commerce-api-overview
