Lilitab launches iPad 4 mobile payment kiosk
Lilitab LLC announced the completion of Apple MFi certification for its latest self-service payment kiosk, the LiliSwipe Magnetic Stripe Reader, designed to process secure transactions through an iPad 4th generation tablet with Lightning connector, according to a company news release.
The LiliSwipe payment kiosk incorporates the MagTek MagneSafe 3-track card reader with Lilitab's Lilitab Pro line of tablet enclosures. Through the use of the fully integrated card reader, merchants can offer enhanced touchscreen interactions while simultaneously reducing their PCI scope with end-to-end encryption solutions, the release said.
Lilitab also updated the LilySwipe app to Version 2.0, available in the Apple App Store, for device checkout, as well as a software development kit to support custom integration into POS applications. The new LilySwipe 2.0 app provides the same web-based user interface experience, but permits use of either 30 pin or Lightning connector products through use of a switch setting.
Lilitab Pro iPad kiosks can be used for assisted selling and as line-busting mobile payment terminals with the MagDock locking head unit. The lock reconnects with a magnetic click, assuring immediate tablet charging. The MagKey triggers the sleep sensor, placing the iPad into sleep mode to conserve battery life, while its removal wakes the iPad for business at the same point.
"Converting from the 30 pin to Lightning connector was an incredibly challenging but fun adventure," Ken Maskrey, director of Systems Engineering for Lilitab, said in the release.
Lilitab's LiliSwipe Magnetic Stripe Reader is available immediately in limited quantities for early integration testing, with distribution planned worldwide in Q1 2014.
