Accept.js and card present transactions

[craigvn]

I have been using Accept.js and it is all working fine. But is it possible to do Card Present transactions with this framework? I can't see reference to it anywhere.

Hello @craigvn

Accept.js is for ecommerce transactions as it runs in the user's browser.  It does not accept track data.

To follow-up on this question from a different angle: Does this mean that if I use Accept.js to request a nonce token using an Authorize.net account set to "card present" that I would get an E_WC_21?

We are a web-based point of sale, and are working on an Authorize.net integration. The card is present at the terminal, but being web-based, we are attempting to use Accept.js to request the nonce token for an Authorize account (also marked card present), and then use the nonce on our server back-end to complete the transaction. This worked previously in testing with an account marked "card not present" but we are getting an E_WC_21 (User authentication failed due to invalid authentication values) when testing against a card present account.

Thanks,

The Accept.js token is intended for ecommerce transactions only.  If you wish to run card present transactions, you will need to use our inperson SDKs with supported devices.

Richard,

Thanks for the reply. I realize that "card present" transactions should use an in-person SDK. I guess the core question I'm trying to get to is this:

Does having a "card present" account block my ability to use Accept.js in an ecommerce setting with that account?

Thanks,
