To enable the credit card swipe reader on the new Elo iSeries ("Flip") or any android os device you will need to put the chrome browser in "Desktop Site" mode.
To do this, follow these steps:
- If Northstar is not already open, tap the Northstar icon on the desktop
- Swipe down from the top and select "Open in Chrome"
- Tap the menu button (3 dots/Options in the upper right corner)
- Tap Desktop Site to place a check mark in the option box
