Verifone / EFTPOS NZ has undertaken technical changes to the integration with Retail POS.
The changes do not impact payment terminals already paired to your Retail POS account, however retailers with existing connections will be contacted by your Verifone terminal provider to update your terminal.
If you have an existing connection and have yet to be contacted by Verifone, please do not unpair your existing payment terminal using the trash icon (Setup -> Payment Types -> Your Verifone Payment Type)
Who can use Verifone New Zealand Payments
Verifone payments are available to retailers using:
- Retail POS on iPad App
- Retail POS for Mac and PC
- Verifone terminals on the either the Paymark or Verifone network

Additional Information
- We recommend reaching out directly to your Verifone terminal provider with queries or issues in relation to processing payments.
- VX820Duets: when integrating with a VX820Duet the Pin pad S/N should be used for integration.
- DHCP: when possible we recommend the use of DHCP when integrating through VCS as the integration is not dependent on the IP address. If you are using a fixed IP address, you require a valid DNS host for the solution to work.
- When the service is used with 3G devices, a data provision of 8 to 10 MB over the normal usage will be required
