using the usb-c to earphone plug adapter

[DGray]

I'm trying to connect the earphone plug mag strip reader to my Ipad Air 5th Gen using the usb-c to earphone adapter but its not connecting. Am I missing some steps to connect or is there a compatibility issue?

From what I can find - the info on this page is saying it's not compatible.   You may want to consider going with the Contactless and Chip Reader as you can use Bluetooth.   There's also something called a Liability Shift when swiping cards (Magstripe), suggest reading through the details.   (Almost all of the accepted cards these days have a chip.)
