Choosing Your Setup

Not sure which combination of terminal, PIN pad, and accessories fits your business? Here's how CARDZ3N's most common setups compare.

Countertop vs. Wireless

Choose the Valor Countertop VP550C if you process payments from one fixed location. Choose the wireless VP550 or VP550E if your team needs to take payments away from the counter, on the sales floor, tableside, curbside, or at off-site events.

With Printer vs. Without (VP550 vs. VP550E)

The VP550 prints receipts on the spot; the VP550E skips the printer for merchants who send digital receipts instead. Each pairs with its own model-specific charging dock, so the terminal stays powered and ready between shifts.

PIN Pad or Full Terminal?

Add the VP300 Pro or PAX D135 if you already have a POS or computer handling checkout and just need secure, EMV-and-tap-to-pay card entry. Choose a full Valor terminal if you need an all-in-one device with its own screen, printer, and checkout flow.

?

A PIN pad is a compact card-entry device, EMV chip, tap-to-pay, and PIN debit, that adds secure payment acceptance to a POS or computer you already have. It doesn't replace your checkout system; it plugs into it.

Before You Order, Confirm

  • ✓Your merchant account and gateway are active and ready for hardware
  • ✓Whether you need a printer for paper receipts or prefer digital-only
