Sending swiped card data to Stripe

Stripe's API supports sending both typed and swiped card data. Typed data is recorded when your customer enters their card details on your site and the data is sent to Stripe either by Stripe.js or through the Stripe API:

https://stripe.com/docs/api#create_charge

Swiped data is sent to Stripe when you have your own card swipe that reads the magnetic card strip on the back of your customers' cards. The raw output of the card swipe can then be submitted to the Stripe API.

The data contained on the magnetic strip of a card contains similar details to those embossed on the card but with some additions and repetitions. Details on the magnetic strip data can be found here:

Is there an interesting opportunity?

I am going to tell you about some of the things that we are working on and how a partnership with Nanoleaf is interesting.

We are currently working on ways to help people at large gatherings, festivals, events, and concerts be able to safely get connected with merchandise they wish to purchase.

One of the problems we are looking at engineering a solution to, is to guide people to different locations to get what they are looking for without having to read small signs or follow a map. Imagine if you were to order food or merchandise on your phone and then when the items were ready, it sent you a notification which sent you a simple message of "Please proceed to...." and a lovely shade of blue showed up on your phone. This shade also shows at a booth or cart somewhere nearby indicating that this place is a match to where you need to go. Maybe it is even pulsing in synchronicty to the blue on your phone confirm the correct location to go to to acquire what you are lo
