FAQs
What is a card reader, and how does it work in credit card transactions?
A credit card reader is a device used by businesses to process payments from credit and debit cards. A card reader electronically reads the information stored on a credit card's magnetic stripe or chip. When a credit card is swiped, dipped, or tapped on the reader, it catches essential data such as the card number, expiration date, and security code. This information is encrypted and transmitted securely to the payment processor for authorization. The processor verifies the transaction details with the card issuer and checks if the card has sufficient funds or credit available. If approved, the transaction is completed, and funds are transferred from the customer's account to the merchant's account. This process ensures secure and efficient payment processing for businesses and customers alike.
