Discontinued

NorthStar Order Entry stopped supporting the MagTek DynaPro Mini BLE device, after version 4.8.

This change was necessary to continue to support newer features and better payment device options. Use of PAX or VX805 will allow for the manually entry of Credit Card numbers. The MagTek iDynamo 6 card reader offers swipe, insert and contactless tap options. Please see:
