Required Information

Some of the new cards including Discover and Citibank Costco Visa do not have card numbers engraved on them. Instead they are printed. Banks are printing them because they no longer need to take card impressions. The plugin cannot capture these numbers by scanning. Is there a way to get around it so that users do not have to manually enter their card numbers?

Short answer: no, there's no easy way to get this library to scan new card types. Long answer, please defer to https://github.com/card-io/card.io-dmz/issues/7. Sorry!
