Drivers License Check-In
Using our Quick Check-In feature utilizing a magnetic stripe reader or 2d barcode scanner (depending on your state's drivers license) you can expect to double the number of registered buyers and quadruple the number of new buyers checked in to your auction per minute. And since our software is not modularized you can get started for the cost of the magnetic stripe reader ($100 US) or 2d barcode scanner ($630 US).
To order your drivers license scanner contact us.
Please note that we only support hardware that is purchased directly from us. If you purchase your DL scanning hardware from somewhere else we can not support it and can not guarantee that it will work.
