Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I buy the Linea-pro online?
We’ve generated a lot of excitement with the Linea-pro 4, however, despite our warnings that it is ONLY compatible with apps we show on our site, many eager customers have purchased it hoping it would work with other apps like Safari. Rather than disappoint potential customers after they have made the purchase, we would rather be proactive and make sure our customers fully understand the situation before they order through our consultative sales approach.
Does the Linea-pro come with software?
We are a hardware only company, therefore we only make the actual device and not the software that runs on the iPod touch. If you are looking for pre-made software please take a look at the applications that our software partners have created.
Is the Linea-pro available with just the mag-stripe reader or just the barcode scanner?
No. The unit is only made with both the mag-stripe reader and barcode scanner.
How much does the Linea-pro cost?
The retail cost for the Linea-pro is $499.
Do you have minimum order quantities?
No. You are welcome to purchase as many as you need.
Do you have an SDK for the Linea-pro?
We have created an SDK that allows you to integrate your native application with our hardware.
Do I have to use your software?
We do not provide software, as we are hardware only company.
