How to Use a Mobile Device to Scan Credit Cards on iPhone and iPad

If you are using mobile devices at check-in, here's how you can take advantage of the built-in iPhone credit card scanner to quickly add a credit card.

When using the browser Safari on an iOS device such as an iPhone or iPad, it has a handy tool that allows you to scan credit cards in order to enter them more quickly.

Please note that this is feature is not a Trellis feature, but rather an iOS tool you can take advantage of when using Trellis' Check-In Tool.
