MagneFlex

MagneFlex is a comprehensive suite of software integration tools from MagTek, designed to dramatically speed up time-to-market and reduce the complexities and headaches that come with payment device certification compliance. At its core, MagneFlex serves as a bridge that drives the hardware, interfaces with your POS application, and issues the commands to pack, parse, and send transaction data out for processing. Available as both a browser-based application and middleware,

MagneFlex includes several variants to suit different development environments:

  • MagneFlex Navy is a full-function HTML browser for Windows that integrates device drivers to control MagTek payment devices from an HTML over HTTP(S) context.

  • MagneFlex Blue is a full-function browser for iOS app development, offering a fast track into the App Store and eliminating the need for plug-ins.

  • MagneFlex Sky is a full-function browser for Android app development, available on Google Play and the Amazon app store, also requiring no plug-ins and supporting optional white labeling.

  • MagneFlex Powder is a lightweight middleware application for Windows that provides an HTTP command API (receiving JSON calls mapped to the device's low-level command set) and can be launched as a Windows Service or a standalone executable.

  • MagneFlex Prism, a suite of interface developer tools that reduces the points of development by allowing you to build a single interface to just MagneFlex, rather than building separate interfaces to the hardware, the POS application, and the gateway.

All MagneFlex tools come with no royalty or maintenance fees and are free to redistribute with your application. The official MagTek MagneFlex support page is a central hub containing all the resources you'll need. There you can find product brochures including MagneFlex Prism, the MagneSafe Secure Ecosystem overview, and the 2024 Hardware and Magensa Gateway Solutions Product Catalog; software downloads and documentation for MagneFlex Navy, Blue, Sky, and Powder; programmer's manuals and API references; developer guides for pursuing EMV L3 certification; and a comprehensive FAQ section with instructional videos.
