Review on πŸ’³ Streamline Your Payment Process with Verifone Vx520 EMV/Contactless Terminal by Daniel Steele

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent version of the VX520 credit card terminal.

Good device supporting all new EMV protocols. VeriFone is one of the leading manufacturers of credit card processing equipment. Make sure what model you are buying and if it will work with your cc processing company. Apparently the version numbers of the VX520 vary by region. Also, please note that this is not a DIY installation of this hardware. I decided to buy my own terminal but I have a processor ready to set it up. First they need to "create" a file with all your information. Then your processor should be ready to download the main files, which took 45 minutes over ethernet and high speed internet. as well as a lot of inputs that I entered following the instructions given by the technician. After that we downloaded the compiled file or IE app. All in all it took me about 2 hours of extremely tedious listening and typing a key on the terminal to get it set up and running. Another option is to simply buy or rent a terminal, pay the extra money it will cost you, preload all of these things, and just plug them into your institution. If I were to do it again I would probably do the last one.
