Android Credit Card Scanner Module
Overview
Credit card scanning is a powerful feature designed to detect, read, and extract data from credit cards. This functionality allows your application to quickly and securely capture card details, including the card number, expiry date and cardholder name.
By utilizing advanced card detection, credit card scanning ensures accurate data extraction even under varying conditions, such as different card orientations, lighting, or backgrounds. The extracted data is provided in a structured format, enabling seamless integration into payment processing systems, loyalty programs, and other applications requiring card details.
Credit card scanning simplifies the process, improves user experience, and enhances security by reducing manual data entry. It is widely used in e-commerce, mobile payments, and point-of-sale systems, where fast, reliable, and secure card capture is essential.
Integration
There are two ways to integrate the UI components into your application:
Take a look at our example apps to see how to integrate the Credit Card Scanner:
Adding the feature as a dependency
CreditCardScanner is included in Scanbot SDK package 3. Therefore, add the dependency io.scanbot:sdk-package-3 or higher in your build.gradle:
implementation("io.scanbot:sdk-package-3:$latestSdkVersion")
implementation("io.scanbot:sdk-creditcard-assets:$latestSdkVersion")
Do not use multiple scanners (e.g., MRZ Scanner and Credit Card Scanner) at the same time.
Each scanner instance requires a lot of memory, GPU, and processor resources. Using multiple scanners will lead to performance issues for the entire application.
Initializing the SDK
Before use, the Scanbot SDK must be initialized. Add the following code snippet to your Application class:
