# StoreAndForwardPaymentCardReaderSession

The object you use to start reading a contactless payment or loyalty card in Store and Forward mode.

```
class StoreAndForwardPaymentCardReaderSession
```

## Overview

Use a `StoreAndForwardPaymentCardReaderSession` object to read payment and loyalty
cards from a properly configured device. You don’t create this object directly.
Instead, you obtain one by calling the [`prepareStoreAndForward()`](/documentation/ProximityReader/PaymentCardReader/prepareStoreAndForward())
method of your [`PaymentCardReader`](/documentation/ProximityReader/PaymentCardReader) object, which returns a session
after the successful configuration of the device.

Maintain a strong reference to a session object for the duration of
the card-reading process. You may use the same session object to perform
multiple read operations, but you may perform only one read operation at a time
