Verifone does not list hardware pricing on its website, so you’ll need to get a quote.

The company offers registers, fuel site controllers, self-serve food order kiosks, and credit card terminals. You can also integrate a tap-to-pay card reader to take contactless payment types such as Apple Pay and Google Pay directly into your fuel pumps.

Verifone does have some of the best credit card terminals, priced from $150 to $500, depending on the model. Verifone hardware is universal, so you can use it with almost any POS software.

You’ll use one of Verifone’s payment processing partners to process gas POS transactions. Merchants can choose First Data, Heartland, National Bankcard Services, or Worldpay.

Verifone is not responsible for repairing or replacing any damaged devices purchased through an unauthorized Verifone seller.

Hardware purchased through the right partners is covered under a warranty for either 13 months or 36 months, depending on the device.
