Resellers of SwipeSimple, also an mPoS solution offered by CardFlight, can now offer their merchants the Bold B500 and Bold B550 devices, which are EMV certified with First Data and ready to use.
CardFlight said that the Bold B500 is ideal for smaller merchants who want to accept EMV payments or prefer to connect to a card reader via Bluetooth. The Bold B550 provides NFC contactless payments acceptance, besides EMV chip card and magnetic stripe support.
Moreover, the Bold B500 and Bold B550 will be available through CardFlight SDK, a software development kit product, which enables mobile app developers to integrate card present payments into their own applications without performing their own EMV certifications.
CardFlight founder and CEO Derek Webster said: “Our partners look to CardFlight to provide the best mobile payment acceptance technology for today and for the future.
