SwipeSimple Card Reader fails to read cards

Last Updated: May 29, 2024

What's in this article?

Ensure that the card reader is fully charged and displays a green light when connected.

Ensure that the card's chip or magnetic stripe is facing the right direction and inserted correctly. Chip cards should be inserted in the black section at the top of the reader, with the chip facing towards the grey image of a card. Magnetic stripe cards should be swiped in a slow, fluid motion along the slot between the grey and black portion of the reader, with the magnetic stripe facing towards the black portion of the reader.

Check and clear the credit slot of any debris or lint.
