MagneFlex
MagneFlex Prism is a suite of interface developer tools that reduce the points of development. Instead of using SDKs, APIs, and applets to build an interface to the hardware device, another to interface to the POS application, and another to the gateway, you can build the interface to just MagneFlex.
No Royalty Fees and Free Distribution
MagTek understands the value of easy-to-use and well documented development tools and sample code that work with Windows, iOS, and Android operating systems. MagTek tools have no royalty or maintenance fees and are free to re-distribute with your application.
MagneFlex Prism Developer Tool
MagneFlex Prism is a suite of interface developer tools that reduce the points of development. Build the interface to just MagneFlex to drive the hardware, interface with the POS app, and issue the commands for processing.
Cross Platform Development
Whether you are on a network client system or using a web-based app, there is a MagneFlex tool for you. This simplifies development and certification and allows you to determine the best ecosystem for each individual environment.
Certified System Under Test
A great advantage is, after the elements in the system under test are certified, you can use any combination of the certified elements in almost any configuration. Using the elements that are certified: the connection, (i.e. USB or Ethernet), the location (i.e. LAN, PC, device), the deployment model (mobile, brick-n-mortar), and the vertical (store, restaurant, spa, etc.), don’t change the certification.
Works with MagTek Secure Hardware
Built to work with MagTek readers on Windows, iOS, and Android operating systems.
MagneFlex - Navy - Browser
MagneFlex Navy is a full-function HTML browser application. Enable distribution of a full function POS system integrated with device drivers that control MagTek payment devices through HTML over HTTP(S) context. Device responsiveness greatly reduces development time and expense.
MagneFlex - Blue - iOS Browser
MagneFlex Blue is a full function iOS browser. It was made for iOS app development and gives developers a fast track into the app store. Blue, a free development tool that can be white-labeled, eliminates the need for plug-ins since everything is built-into the browser; providing a turnkey integration solution for iOS web applications, working with MagTek hardware and services. Sites developed in HTML 5 with device responsive views will work seamlessly in this browser allowing the app to respond to devices whether they are tablets or phones in a device native format. You can find MagneFlex Blue in the Apple store.
MagneFlex - Sky - Android Browser
MagneFlex Sky is a full function Android browser, made for Android app development and optional white labeling. Android app development is made easier by speaking the app language and plug-ins are not needed. You can find MagneFlex Sky in Google Play.
MagneFlex - Teal - Middleware
MagneFlex Teal is a middleware application that, when used in conjunction with the MagTek family of payment terminals and Magensa transaction processing services, provides a simplified and consistent interface for a POS application to initiate and complete card-based payment transactions. To maximize flexibility, Teal is template-driven, using data translation techniques to seamlessly inter-operate between the MagneFlex input API, the terminal interface, payment card technologies (MSR, EMV, key-entered), and downstream processor APIs.
MagneFlex - Powder - Middleware
MagneFlex Powder is a smaller middleware application that delivers communications between the POS app and the hardware. If you already know how to send the data through for processing, this may be all you need.
