Bitcoin POS-Advice Needed-Should we offer Printable Cards?

[neha]

Hello Everyone. We are still about a month away from launch and we would like your advice. We are working on a POS solution for Bitcoins. We have developed a platform in which stores can either integrate accepting payments using their current architecture or they can use Mobile Phones to process the transaction. Thus, we will be offering Magnetic Cards which will work at both or we can offer printable cards so that people can use it at stores that accept using their Mobile Phones only.

Therefore, I would like your advice on should we offer printable variant or should we keep it to the magnetic cards for which user must pay.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You have not explained too much about the system yet but assuming its some kind of a barcode or magnetic based system, I would think that offering printable cards for free would be a good option as alot of people can try the system specially students. How much must we pay for the cards/transactions and how much would it cost for the merchants?

The Card will cost 15-20$ but initially we will offer a full credit towards withdrawal charges. For merchants, it wont cost anything to signup. We are developing a very secure system which would allow people to pay with bitcoins without the need of their phone.

So Printable card or not? Thoughts...questions?

Sounds good. If its only 15-20 including shipping, then it doesn't make any difference. Might as well stick to non-printable card. Ill let others also respond on this but count me in.
