Supported USA PINPads

There be dragoons here - Please read carefully.

  • Ensure your PINPad is encrypted for your payment processor.
  • Please read the fine print. Not all pinpads will work for all situations. Items to consider:Terminal Services;Serial, USB or TCP/IP;Signature Capture; Card on File.
  • Some driver installs may be challenging. Please ensure you have at least 2 weeks lead time before going live.
  • US EMV is not supported. Even though your pinpad may have a chip card reader, chances that it will support EMV when available are slim.
  • Some PINpads require loading of datacap forms or OPOS drivers by the Supplier or other third party.
  • If the PINpad you are considering is not on this list, it probably won't work. Replacement models for obsolete PINpads probably won't work either.
  • Beware of purchasing second hand equipment from non-POS vendors.

Important Information on Device Location

The pinpad device may be mounted on a flat surface, wall, or customer stand (recommended). We recommend physically securing the device to avoid theft. Power may be provided from a host Point of Sale system or from an Ingenico power supply. The device must be placed close to an easily-accessible power outlet. Do not place the pinpad on a PC monitor, adjacent to an electronically active security tag deactivation system, or near other sources of magnetic fields.

The Pinpad device must be at least 12 inches away from an electronically active type of security tag
