Verifone, a world leader in payments and commerce solutions, today unveiled Verifone Carbon, „a beautiful, flexible and integrated POS that leverages powerful capabilities and applications to transform the checkout process into an experience merchants and consumers will love”, according to the press release. „The new Verifone Carbon integrates the payment terminal with the POS platform in a single device that’s equally at home on the counter as it is in your hand.”
Verifone Carbon embodies the company’s vision for how commerce operates in a connected world. It is the result of Verifone’s commitment to transforming the POS, where we are connecting merchants to new differentiating opportunities and consumers to intuitive, enjoyable experiences.
“Today, merchants need trusted tools and services to create simple, secure and engaging consumer shopping experiences and new ways to grow their businesses,” said Glen Robson, executive vice president of Verifone Systems. “Verifone Carbon is our most well-designed and technologically advanced product ever.”
Robson adds, “It uniquely delivers on our vision of the future of commerce in a connected world by bringing together payments, applications, customer service functions and other solutions for running a business into a single integrated system. It’s a cutting-edge solution for merchants who want to experience the joy of truly frictionless commerce.”
Verifone Carbon offers a secure business solution that is designed perfectly for café owners, quick service restaurants and retail stores. Featuring dual high-resolution screens that are optimized for merchants and consumers, the system integrates into a sleek stand with built-in high-speed printer, and optional cash drawer at the base – requiring minimal counter space and offering portability for mPOS activities.
Every detail of Verifone Carbon has been engineered with the intention of making the most of the interactions between merchants and consumers at the POS, including:
. Integrated design with dual screens: Merchants run register and business apps from the tablet screen and consumers pay and interact with personalized, targeted messaging from a smaller screen.
. World-class chipset and operating systems: Merchant side powered by Intel running an open Android OS; consumer side powered by the Verifone Engage platform.
. Portable and countertop: Detach and reattach the system when needed, with an ergonomic handle for perfect balance and mPOS activities.
. Accepts all forms of payment: Swipe, tap or dip with the chip slot positioned for both portable and countertop…with no knuckle scraping.
. Built to last: Enhanced scratch and impact resistant surfaces with optimal screen clarity using Corning® Gorilla® Glass.
. Connectivity: Always on, always connected with USB, Ethernet, WiFi and Bluetooth.
. Battery Life: Get up to six hours of uninterrupted mPOS power.
„As payments become more integrated into commerce, products like Verifone Carbon will make running a business more efficient and fun with engaging solutions and high-value applications, while playing a pivotal role in taking consumer experiences to the next level. This is where all channels work together to deliver value to merchants and their customers.”, said Thad Peterson, senior analyst at Aite Group.
