Magnetic Strip Reader
If your point of sale system requires you to use a magnetic strip reader the Osayde Credit Card Reader, available from Amazon, is your best bet. This reader does more than just read your customers' credit cards. It allows you to read, write, and erase magnetic strips, making it ideal for laundromats who want to make gift cards for customers, create employee badges, and accept credit or debit card payments. The reader comes with 20 blank cards, a USB adapter, a power cord, and a cleaning card.
Futura Credit Card Reader
Need to accept credit cards but don't want to break the bank?

The machine is rated for more than 1,000,000 swipes and comes with a 12-month warranty. It's available on Amazon for $15.00.
Square Contactless and Chip Reader
