Over time the magnet in the reader may get dirty. The tinting on some wallets may rub off on the client's card, which can rub off on the magnet. A quick way to clean it is to get a paper towel and fold it enough so it fits in the slit. Then slightly dampen it with a small amount of rubbing alcohol (preferred) or glass cleaner. Don't soak it. Rub it back and forth between the slit. This may take a couple of times. After you have cleaned it, try again.

Ensure that this page is Enabled and your name is under the Merchant Account section. If it states "Awaiting Approval," the merchant account still needs to be approved, and you must wait for it to go through.
Remember, if you're having problems swiping a credit card, you can enter the credit card information manually. However, this transaction is subject to higher, key-entered rates.
