[Blindtlk] credit card readers help please

Yes, there is an ap, plus a piece of peripheral hardware that you plug in to 
your device where you physically swipe the credit card.   Together they 
create a   sales register for credit card transactions.  There are lots of 
companies and aps that will do this.  The two we have been talking about are 
Square and Pay Pal Here.

Hi Justin,

I believe the app works in conjunction with the physical card reader. I do
not use it myself, so cannot tell you exactly how it works.
