RE: Using an iOS Device for processing credit card tranasactions
Hi there, I had no success with this but I understand it is possible. A friend who happens to be on this list uses it all of the time. I think he is using Go Payment but the key is to use ...oh boy...I hope I remember this right...Moffie has a case with a built in card reader that does not use the headphone jack. My friend says it works great. He told me you can get it at Best Buy and/or Apple. Best Buy said they do not have it and I did not check the Apple Store since I ran out of time before the event when I needed it. Maybe he'll poke his head out and add to this sketchy post.

You may be able to get around it with a bluetooth headset, but this also doesn't seem to be just easy, either. I am not sure if I have the names correct, I am pretty sure Go Payment and Square are providers of such readers, but you can always google "credit card processing with an iPhone" and get the exact spelling of the major players and then search the archives for those.

Re: Using an iOS Device for processing credit card tranasactions
Unfortunately you cannot use splitters for this as the headphone jack is sending audible signals which will hurt your ears badly. I believe you can only use devices which do not rely on headphone jack, either bluetooth-based on something plugs into a dock connector.

RE: Using an iOS Device for processing credit card tranasactions
Thanks, looking back through the archives I have noticed that the Square card reader plugs into the headphone jack. If a 3.5 MM splitter from radio shack is used can a earbud be plugged in as well; or will plugging in the reader then turning on a BT headset suffice?
