Abstract
The subject technology relates to methods for processing a payment using a mobile card reader. Implementations of the subject technology provide include steps for determining, using a first communication module, a first available bandwidth for data transacted between the card reader and a payment processing service, and determining, using the second communication module, a second available bandwidth for data transacted between a local device and the payment processing service. In some implementations, the method can further include steps for selecting a communication path for communicating with the payment processing service based on the first available bandwidth and the second available bandwidth. Systems and computer-readable media are also provided.
