Hi All!
I am currently in the process of setting up a biometric finger scan system from one of two companies (m2sys, and/ or Innovatrics). According to their websites, their finger scanners are open architecture, and have the required SDK/ADI to talk to Wix.
I already have a programmer working for me, who has the coding skills necessary to work with the finger scanner, but he is unfamiliar with Wix (But has used many other websites like Wix in the past).
Essentially, what we would like to do is utilize the biometric scanner as an ID/ verification of an active subscription for our subscription based members at our physical location.
I.E. Someone who pays online for our subscription based memberships through Wix. They come to our physical location, and check in using the biometric finger scanner. The scanner then uses the registry in Wix to verify they are a member, in good payment standing, therefore granted access to the facility and its amenities.
I’m not a big tech guy, but from my understanding this should be doable through Wix.
Any and all help is much appreciated!

Hi,
A possible solution is to use the built in Members collection as the main database for your site.
This gives you many features out of the box. See more here.

Your developer could use this database to create a customized management console.

To expose the system externally, which will allow the integration of the fingerprint sensor, use http-functions.

The logic for the fingerprint system should be written as an http function.
Consider using the automatically generated and randomized _id value as the keycard’s secret.
You‘re the man, Ido! Thank you for the help. I think that will solve what we need perfectly.
That’s actually a pretty cool idea, let us know how it goes.
Hi Did you get this workking?
There’s no reason that it’s not 
Hi have you got any sample code that you can share? Kind Regards
@paulcf007 I don’t have access to the code, and I didn’t build one by myself, but it should be easy to follow all the links provided by Ido .
