Card Suggestion

[Mr. Mediocre]

IGN: _Mediioocre | _Megalo

DATE: June 10th

WHAT YOU WANT TO SUGGEST OR MENTION:
A way to pay someone straight through Debit Cards without having to have money in /bal but in your bank account
For example:
Card swipers
You enter the price of your object, use your card and enter your PIN number. And it takes the amount from your bank account if you have money in there
A command called /swiperequest
It can function like /payrequest where you do /swiperequest [amount], but you need to have your debit card out in your hand and then enter your PIN code after accepting

HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT THE SERVER/COMMUNITY?:
This could help shop employees and people who didn't have time to stop by an ATM

For shops
Store Employee - SE
Customer - C

Let's say "C" logged on a bit late and a shopkeeper is about to close the store soon. And "C" made it just in time before the store closes but didn't have time to stop by an ATM and withdraw some money

C: "Hello. I'd like to buy this product."
SE: "Alright! That'll be 15k."
C: "I don't have cash, do you take card payment?"
SE: "Yes we do! Hold on."
SE: Takes out a card swiper and entered the price before sliding the machine facing the customer
C: Entered their PIN code, then pressed continue
SE: Waited for the machine to read "Payment confirmed" before taking it back
SE: "Alright, you're all done. Thank you for shopping here!"

As a shopkeeper myself, constantly doing transactions and trying to get people's items in a timely manner is already stressful enough, I feel like adding this will only make things more complicated than necessary.

I would personally just make it so that you can execute a command while holding your phone to pay someone else's account without having to talk to the Banker NPC (which is already WIP)

Looking at the current system shops use, this would be complicated. Debit cards are mostly used to pay others without meet-ups otherwise your money should be with you all times anyways

Dawg imagine getting robbed and having no cash on you and the robber pulls out a swipe machine

It’s interesting, I could see how it’d be annoying for shop keepers to keep track of and how it might overwhelm them. Even if it was implemented it’d be pretty low down the updates considering it’s quite minor.

Super late to the suggestion but my thoughts on it are this: Instead of coding a whole new system (especially one that’ll only be used under specific circumstances) it’d be smarter to add more ATMs around the map, in or around shop areas.

- This is a good idea on paper, but the implementation and use-case for it would be quite difficult/non-existent.​

- Although it'd make sense for players that own a bank account to use card readers in shops, the current system that shopkeepers use for employee percentages on sales and tax would make this difficult in practice.​
