Compatibility
The UNIIMAG II mobile credit card reader is designed to work with most modern smartphones. Both the device manufacturer and Mindbody test the swiper to work on as many devices as possible, but we can’t verify compatibility with every smartphone on the market.
As such, keep the following guidelines in mind:
- The credit card reader is compatible with most Android devices.
- The credit card reader requires access to an open headphone jack.
You can find information on compatibility on the manufacturer’s website: How can I check if my mobile device is compatible with an audio jack mobile reader?. There is an XML link in the article that takes you to a tech page. Please note that this is not a complete list of supported devices—your device may work even if it is not listed here. This XML file holds a set of settings (setting profile) that have been found to work for each device by model number. They have either tested the device themselves or a customer discovered the settings profile that works and shared it with them. If your device type is on the compatible list, but it’s listed under a different carrier, then the swiper may still be compatible with your model. You can search this file for your device’s model number. If your device’s model number is present in the file, you can test that it works by “reloading the XML” in the UniMag utility.

How to use the mobile credit card reader
The Mindbody business app automatically detects the presence of the mobile credit card reader during checkout. When you’re ready to process the payment, tap Credit/Debit, and if the swiper is plugged in you’ll see the “Please swipe card” screen within a few seconds.
For detailed information about this process, refer to Payment methods (Business app, Android).
