CP Mobile™: How do I swipe a card when processing a payment?

Last updated on 03 Jun, 2026

You can easily process a payment in the CP Mobile™ app by swiping a credit card using the CP Mobile™ Card Bluetooth reader or Swiper (purchased before January 2024). You must use a device obtained from Cash Practice® Systems, as they have unique encryption. Other devices will not work with CP Mobile™.

Effective 2019 - Present:

To process transactions within the app, our Retail merchant account is required and has merchant fees associated with it. In the event you cancel your CP Mobile™ Gateway (for Android and Apple devices), there will be a $25 fee each time you need to reactivate the gateway.

NOTE: If you updated the app and had previously purchased a CP Mobile™ swiper before January 2024, this device will not work with the new app. A new device will need to be purchased HERE in our shopping cart.

January 2024 - Present Steps:

Getting started:

Step 1: Once you have signed in, from the CP Mobile™ home screen, select [Credit Card] → [Payment].

Step 2: Enter the Amount. You may also add a note (optional) that will show up as a comment in your Payments Report on the Cash Practice® website. Select the [Present Card] button.

Step 3: Swipe the card.

Step 4: Once approved, the signature screen will appear. Here, the customer can sign their name. To erase the signature, click the X on the far left of the signature line. After signing, click the [Continue] button.

Step 5: After you click [Continue], you will be taken to the *receipt. From here you can Text or Email the receipt to the customer. Once you are finished, click the [Done] button.

Note: 

  • Receipts cannot be texted to a customer from an iPad or any device that does not have FULL texting abilities. This would include Android tablets and iPads that only have iMessage. 

  • Receipts can be printed directly from the CashPractice.com account if needed. Please see the linked instructions HERE.
