It wouldn't be a hack per se if they went the GW route. Get a notification from whatever bank they partnered with, charge the selected card for the amount just like if the card was used for a card not present transaction. Of course, they would need a merchant account that is okay with that, probably from the same bank that's putting the chip in.
