App + Bluetooth readerSwipeSimple
CardFlight's small-business toolkit: a clean mobile app, the Swift B250 Bluetooth reader, and a web dashboard with virtual terminal, invoices and payment links.
Why we carry it
SwipeSimple is the kit we recommend when the answer to "what do you need?" is "just take cards, cleanly, without a system." The app is genuinely simple: item catalog, tax and tip, digital receipts, done. The Swift B250 reader handles tap, chip and swipe over Bluetooth and lives in a jacket pocket.
The quiet strength is the web side. Every SwipeSimple account includes a dashboard with a virtual terminal for phone orders, invoices you can send by text or email, and payment links you can drop anywhere. For a lot of micro-merchants that web half ends up doing most of the work.
It's used by well over a hundred thousand small businesses nationwide, and it rides on a standard merchant account, so the rates are the ones we bid, not a bundled convenience premium.
Highlights
- Reader-to-running in one short setup call
- Payment links for invoiceless remote charges

At a glance

Program support depends on the processor pairing; we confirm fee program display and receipts for your setup before launch, and steer you to different hardware if your program needs on-device logic.
How dual pricing works →SwipeSimple, answered
How fast can I be taking cards?
Same week, usually same day the reader arrives. The app setup is minutes; we preconfigure the account side before you ever open it.
What does the reader cost?
The Swift B250 is inexpensive, and on most accounts we open it's included. Either way there's no lease: you own it.
Can I send a payment link instead of an invoice?
Yes. Links go out by text or email and the customer pays on their phone. Invoices add line items and records when you want them.
Is SwipeSimple a processor?
No, it's the software layer. Your processing is a real merchant account underneath, which is why we can bid the rates instead of you paying whatever the app decides.
I take ten payments a month. Is this overkill?
No, this is exactly the volume SwipeSimple is built for. It's the cheapest clean setup we install.
