How to swipe a credit card?

To swipe a credit card correctly, locate the card reader slot on the payment terminal. Position your card so the magnetic stripe is facing the reader and move it quickly and steadily through the slot from top to bottom. If the terminal has a horizontal slot, ensure the stripe faces downward. Follow any on-screen instructions, such as entering your PIN or signing the receipt, to complete the transaction safely. Always verify the transaction amount on the screen before swiping.
