POS Systems We Offer

*Note: Limit one discounted or complimentary device per new merchant account; however, larger businesses may qualify for multiple complimentary devices based on processing volume. All hardware and accessories are available exclusively to merchants with an active, approved merchant processing account with us. No POS systems or accessories can be shipped or provided until a merchant processing application has been submitted and approved. Actual processing rates may vary based on factors such as transaction size, card type, business type, and transaction method. We reserve the right to decline applications from certain industries based on niche, size, or overall fit, and account approval is not guaranteed.
