The VP300 Pro is a standalone secure PIN pad — a companion device that pairs with an existing register or POS, not a full all-in-one terminal on its own.
The VP300 Pro is Valor PayTech's standalone secure PIN pad. Unlike the VP550, VP550C, or VP800 — which are full all-in-one Android POS terminals with their own operating system, apps, and (on most models) a built-in printer — the VP300 Pro is a compact, dedicated card-entry device. It connects to a host register or POS system over USB and handles the card-present part of the transaction: swipe, chip, tap, and PIN.
That makes its role closer to PAX's Q25 or A35 PIN pads than to any other device in the Valor line — a companion accessory for an existing checkout setup, not a replacement for one. A 3.5" capacitive touchscreen (320x480) handles e-signature capture and can display up to 16 lines of product/price detail, so staff and customers still get a real on-screen transaction experience even without a full POS app running locally.
Every device in the Valor line covers payment security and speed, but Host Card Emulation (HCE) support is where the VP300 Pro stands apart. HCE lets the PIN pad handle card-less, loyalty-linked transactions — digital receipts, points, and personalized offers — without any separate loyalty hardware. For a merchant who wants a repeat-visit program built into the checkout flow rather than bolted on afterward, that's a genuinely different pitch than the rest of the Valor lineup, which leads with payment security and transaction speed instead.
Despite its small footprint, the VP300 Pro carries the same PCI PTS 6.x certification and full EMV Level 1/2 plus EMV Contactless Level 1 approval as Valor's larger POS terminals — there's no tradeoff on transaction security for being the smallest device in the line.
A Kensington lock slot and included privacy shield add physical theft protection and PIN-entry privacy at the counter, on top of the standard swipe, chip, and contactless card readers covering every common payment method.
The VP300 Pro connects via USB, so it drops into an existing register, POS terminal, or tablet-based checkout without needing new proprietary hardware on the host side. Valor's own positioning names both ends of the merchant spectrum here explicitly: the same integration model works for a small boutique running one register and a large retail chain standardizing PIN entry across many storefronts.
There's no documented step-by-step transaction flow for the VP300 Pro the way there is for CARDZ3N's other Valor and PAX terminals — because the transaction flow itself runs on the host POS, not on the PIN pad. The VP300 Pro's job is to capture the card and PIN securely and hand that data back to whatever system is driving the sale.
The Valor VP300 Pro is available through CARDZ3N with pricing quoted per merchant based on volume and equipment needs — CARDZ3N is the sole quoting and selling party, never a pass-through to Valor's own pricing. Ask your CARDZ3N rep for current pricing.

The VP300 Pro is Valor PayTech's standalone secure PIN pad — a compact companion device with a 3.5" touchscreen, full EMV/contactless acceptance, and Host Card Emulation for loyalty programs. It's not a full all-in-one terminal; it's built to pair with an existing register or POS.
It needs a host system. The VP300 Pro is a companion PIN pad that connects via USB to an existing register or POS — similar in role to the PAX Q25 or A35 — rather than a self-contained terminal like the VP550 or VP800.
Yes. Host Card Emulation (HCE) support lets merchants offer loyalty programs and digital receipts alongside secure, card-less transactions — a feature Valor highlights specifically on this device, not the rest of the line.
The VP300 Pro ships with a Kensington lock-compatible body, an included privacy shield, and a rotatable mount, plus standard Valor PayTech documentation. CARDZ3N configures the device as part of onboarding.
Triple-track magnetic swipe, EMV chip, and EMV contactless — covering PayPass, payWave, American Express Pay, Discover D-PAS, and UnionPay QuickPass — plus Host Card Emulation for card-less loyalty transactions.
