What ‘free POS equipment’ actually means

Placement vs purchase vs lease. Software fees. What happens if you leave.

Placement, not a $0 miracle

Qualified Vertura merchants receive PayAnywhere hardware at no upfront cost. North / PayAnywhere remain the hardware platform. You are not buying a $1,200 terminal on a 48-month lease with a balloon.

Software is named

Smart Terminal and Smart Keypad: $24.95/month. Payanywhere Core: $54.95/month. The 3-in-1 reader pairs to your phone with no device software fee. We put this on the equipment page on purpose.

If it breaks

We swap it. You should not be down over a printer jam that became a $400 ‘service call.’

If you leave

Ask for the term in writing on the rate review. We would rather tell you the rule than surprise you with a restocking novel.
