Scan credit card on mobile?

Not sure whether this should be on Credit Card board or this one, but here goes.

Eating in Wetherspoon with a child will be easier if I can use their APP to allow ordering from table.

Payment can be made by various methods, but although I do all my banking on line, I use my desktop PC never my mobile. I don't use Paypal or Google Pay so the only alternative is to scan my credit card on mobile. How do you do this?

    Perhaps I don't understand the question or you have stated your problem badly. You scan your card using the Wetherspoon app itself: Order, basket, "Pay with debit or credit card". The app is available on iOS and Android.

    In theory, you use your device's camera to take an image of your card. IME, this never works, so I resort to entering the details the traditional way by keyboard.

    The app doesn't remember your card details so you need to re-enter them for each order,

    Thanks I haven't seen the Wetherspoon App or done any scanning on my phone. I did read something about having to download a special app to enable scanning. However, if it is explained when I come to use the app and simply uses the mobile camera it should be straightforward.
