EQ

Equipment refers to the physical hardware you use to accept payments in person, such as terminals, PIN pads, and card readers, as distinct from a payment gateway or virtual terminal, which are software connections that let you accept payments online or by phone without dedicated hardware.

Terminal Hardware Options

Countertop Terminals

For businesses processing from a fixed register or service counter, options such as the Valor VP550C combine touchscreen checkout, EMV chip acceptance, tap to pay, PIN debit, and receipt printing in one streamlined device, helping retailers, restaurants, and service businesses deliver a faster in-person payment experience.

Wireless & Mobile Devices

Wireless devices such as the Valor VP550 and VP550E let staff accept payments away from the counter, on the sales floor, tableside, curbside, or at off-site events. Pair a device with a compatible charging dock to keep it powered and ready throughout the day.

PIN Pads, Accessories & Supplies

Complete your payment setup with secure PIN pads, Bluetooth connected devices, charging accessories, and reliable thermal receipt paper. From the PAX D135 Bluetooth PIN pad to bulk 2.25 inch thermal paper rolls, CARDZ3N helps ensure your equipment is compatible, organized, and stocked for uninterrupted daily processing. See our full payment terminals and accessories page for detailed specs and model comparisons.

Payment Gateways for Online & Card-Not-Present Sales

A payment gateway securely connects your website, online checkout, invoicing platform, or POS system to your merchant account. CARDZ3N evaluates how you accept payments, the platforms you use, your average transaction size, and your industry requirements to recommend gateway technology that supports your sales channels, transaction volume, fraud controls, and compliance requirements.

Our team helps configure the gateway for your ecommerce store, virtual terminal, recurring billing program, invoicing process, or integrated POS environment, then provides ongoing support as your business adds products, locations, sales channels, or subscription options. See our full payment gateway integrations page for supported platforms and setup detail.

CARDZ3N connects payment hardware and gateway technology into one practical payment stack, designed around how your business actually sells.

Virtual Terminals for Phone & Manual Orders

A CARDZ3N virtual terminal lets you key in payments from any browser with no physical hardware required, ideal for phone orders, mail orders, invoicing, and card-on-file billing. It works alongside your countertop and wireless hardware rather than replacing it, giving staff a way to take a payment whenever a customer isn't standing at the register.

See our full virtual terminals page for a walkthrough of the login, invoicing, and recurring billing features available with your CARDZ3N account.
