Abstract
Aspects of the technology relate to a swipe-guide attachment for use with a mobile card reader. In some aspects, the swipe-guide attachment is configured to facilitate insertion of a payment card into the card reader and prevent rotation of the card reader. A swipe-guide may include a harness for enclosing the card reader, and can include an aperture, for example, to permit passage of an audio plug of the card reader into a headphone port of a host mobile device.
