The VeriFone Vx 670 is designed for secure payment at any point of service and, utilizing either secure Wi-Fi or GPRS cellular transmission, allows payments to be made at the table, at the customer’s car for carry-out orders and at the customer’s home for delivery orders. The device weighs less than one pound, features a built-in thermal printer and allows consumers to enter their own PIN number for debit card transactions.
The VeriFone QX720 is designed for convenience-oriented service businesses that operate drive-thru facilities, like quick-service restaurants and pharmacies, and unattended locations such as parking lots. The QX720 is encased in a weather-resistant housing to withstand the environmental rigors of outdoor use and to resist vandalism or tampering.
Completing payment on the spot helps eliminate employee ‘skimming’, an increasingly common practice in which cards are swiped through a specialized data capture device that records the card holder’s account information, which can then be used for card fraud and identity theft, VeriFone said.
