My aunt sells items at the swap meet and we both use the same company. I will put the link in below for you. Just call and ask them. I have never had any problems with them at all.

Unfortunately the PCI council (governing body of compliance for card acceptance - consortium from V/MC/DS/AX/JCB licensing organizations) is expected to terminate this function in the coming year - due to the fact they strictly forbid the storing of the mag stripe data from any transaction currently (fines start in the thousands and go up from there per instance). Additionally you can process through a pc if you have WiFi access, cell phone is you have coverage - but if none are available - the "store and forward" would be your best short term solution. Hope that helps. Most wireless terminals offer “store and forward” functionality – which is what you describe (storing of the transaction and card data until signal is available).
