Mobile Swipers.
The simplest way to take a card on the go — swipe, dip, or tap from your phone.
Built For You, Configured By Us.
From food trucks to farmers markets to service calls, a mobile swiper plus our app gets you paid on the spot instead of invoicing after the fact.
Lone Star Payments matches the reader to your phone, your volume, and your budget.
- ★EMV, tap & mobile wallet readyEvery terminal accepts chip, contactless tap, and Apple Pay / Google Pay out of the box — meeting customers where they already pay and lifting authorization rates.
- ★P2PE encryption end to endCard data is encrypted at the read head and never exposed in the clear, shrinking your PCI scope and protecting you from the cost of a breach.
- ★Overnight replacement programIf a device fails, a preconfigured replacement is on its way overnight — your lane is never down for a shipping cycle waiting on a fix.
- ★Up to $5,000 toward upgradesOur limited-time program puts up to $5,000 toward modern hardware through 8/31/2026, so aging swipe-only terminals stop costing you sales and interchange.
Card Acceptance Anywhere You Can Stand.
Mobile swipers are pocket-sized card readers that pair with a phone or tablet to accept payments wherever the work happens. It’s the category name for the whole family — tap readers, chip readers, and the classic swipe attachments — from brands like BBPOS and Clover Go. If your business sells anywhere other than a fixed counter, even occasionally, a mobile swiper is the cheapest possible answer to “can I pay with a card?”
The change is behavioral as much as technical. The farmers market booth in McKinney stops losing the customer who never carries cash. The landscaper closes the job on the spot instead of texting an invoice into the void. The moment of highest intent — customer standing there, happy, wallet out — becomes the moment of payment. And because we tie the reader to your main account, those sales flow into the same statement and reporting as everything else you do.
Every “cash only” moment has a cost: the customer without cash doesn’t come back with it later — a mobile reader is how small sellers stop saying no.
Where Payments Hurt
- ★Losing card-only customers at markets, events, and job sites
- ★Invoices sent after the job that take weeks to collect
- ★Free-app readers with their own account, statement, and hold policies
- ★Cash-heavy operations with no clean record for the bookkeeper

Mobile Swipers Owners Ask Us
Aren’t free app readers good enough for a small operation?
They’re fine until volume grows — then flat rates, holds, and no human support start to cost real money. The math flips at different points for different businesses, which is exactly what a free statement review with our Dallas team shows: your numbers, not a sales pitch.
Tap, chip, or swipe — what should I actually get?
Tap and chip. Swipe-only readers are the past — magnetic stripes carry more fraud liability and customers increasingly expect to tap. Modern readers in our lineup handle tap and dip, with swipe as the fallback, which is the right order of operations in Texas today.
Can I use a mobile swiper as my only payment setup?
Absolutely — many mobile-first Texas businesses run entirely on a phone and reader. If you later add a storefront, the account grows with you into countertop hardware without switching processors or losing your history.
