  • $200–$350(e.g., MPI POS, PaymentCloud).
• Bundles:
  • Included thermal paper or PIN pads (e.g., RP10) at no extra cost with some vendors.

Key Factors Affecting Price

1. Connectivity:
   • Wi-Fi modelscommanded a ~$50 premium over Ethernet/dial-only variants.
2. Condition:
   • Refurbished units with warranties are priced closer to$250.

• Z8: Ethernet, dial-up, RS232, USB, and optional WiFi.
• Clover Flex: WiFi, Bluetooth, and cellular (via Clover Go).
• PAX A80: 4G/3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet.

Payment Methods

• Z8: EMV, NFC (Apple Pay, Google Wallet), and magstripe.
• Clover Flex/Square: All major contactless options plus QR code payments (Square).
• PAX A80: PCI 6-certified for all payment types, including contactless.

Software & Features

• Z8: Basic Linux OS, auto-batch settlements, and “Call Me” support.
• Clover/Square: Full POS integrations (inventory, CRM, etc.).
• PAX A80: Android-based with app support.

Portability

• Z8: Lightweight (0.77 lbs) but fixed to countertop unless using WiFi.
• Clover Flex/Square Terminal: Handheld with offline modes.
• PAX A80: Optional battery for portability.

Pricing & Availability

• Z8: Discontinued (replaced by Z9/Z11).
• Clover/Square: Monthly plans or upfront hardware costs.
• PAX A80: Higher-end, enterprise-focused pricing.

The Z8 is a simpler, cost-effective terminal, while alternatives like Clover and Square offer advanced POS integrations, and the PAX A80 provides Android flexibility.

The Dejavoo Z8 handles NFC contactless payments with the following features and functionality:

NFC Payment Support

• AcceptsApple Pay, Google Wallet, Samsung Pay, Visa payWave, and Mastercard PayPassvia its EMVco-certified contactless reader.
• Processes transactions by tapping an NFC-enabled card or mobile device (no swipe/insert required).

Technical Specifications

• EMV 4.x L1/L2 certifiedfor secure contactless transactions.
• ISO 14443 Type A/Band NFC (13.56MHz) compatibility.
• No touchscreen: Users navigate payment methods using arrow keys and confirm with theOKbutton.

User Experience

1. Initiate Sale: Enter amount and select “Credit” or contactless option.
2. Tap to Pay: Hold card/device near the terminal’s contactless symbol (no PIN unless debit).
3. Confirmation: Receipt prints automatically via built-in thermal printer.

Note: The Z8 lacks touchscreen signature capture but supports digital receipts via email/SMS.

(Discontinued; replaced by Z9/Z11 for enhanced features like touchscreen support.)

The Dejavoo Z8’s Tri-Comm capability (Dial, IP, and WiFi) offers several practical benefits for businesses:

1. Connectivity Flexibility

• Dial-up: Ensures transactions can still process in areas with poor internet by using traditional phone lines.
• IP (Ethernet): Provides stable, high-speed wired connections for businesses with fixed setups.
• WiFi: Enables wireless mobility, ideal for pop-up shops or dynamic countertop arrangements.

2. Reliability & Redundancy

• Auto-switches between available connection methods if one fails (e.g., WiFi drops, falls back to Ethernet or dial-up), minimizing downtime.

3. Easy Setup

• Self-discovers available WiFi networks, reducing manual configuration.

4. Broad Compatibility

• Supports legacy systems (dial-up) while integrating modern options (WiFi/IP), making it adaptable for diverse merchant environments.

5. Cost Efficiency

• Eliminates the need for separate terminals for different connection types, streamlining hardware costs.

(Note: The Z8 is discontinued; newer models like the Z9/Z11 retain these features with upgrades.)

The Dejavoo Z8 employs multiple layers of security to protect transactions, adhering to industry standards and certifications:

1. EMV & PCI Compliance

• EMV Level 1 & 2 Certified: Validates chip card transactions with end-to-end encryption, preventing counterfeit fraud.
• PCI PTS 4.1 Certified: Meets Payment Card Industry’s stringent hardware security requirements for tamper resistance and data protection.

2. Encryption & Cryptography

• UsesAES, RSA, and Triple DES encryption for data transmission.
• SupportsDUKPT (Derived Unique Key Per Transaction) to dynamically generate unique keys for each transaction.

3. Fraud Prevention Features

• Tokenization: Replaces sensitive card data with tokens for secure storage.
• A.F.E. (Simplified Anti-Fraud Enforcement): Optional real-time monitoring with customizable risk profiles to block suspicious activity.

4. Secure Hardware Components

• Tamper-Resistant Design: Triggers self-destruct mechanisms if physically compromised.
• Isolated Secure Processor: 32-bit 400MHz microprocessor with dedicated memory (128MB RAM + 64MB DDR) for encrypted processing.

5. Contactless & NFC Security

• EMVco-Certified NFC: Validates Apple Pay, Google Wallet, etc., via ISO 14443 (Type A/B) and ISO 18092 standards.
• Dynamic Data Authentication (DDA): Ensures contactless transactions cannot be replayed or cloned.

6. Network Safeguards

• Tri-Comm (Dial/IP/WiFi): Encrypts data across all connection types, with fallback options to maintain uptime.
• Micro SD Slot: Optional for secure offline transaction logging.

7. Compliance & Certifications

• Certified forVisa PayWave, Mastercard PayPass, Amex, and JCB contactless protocols.
• MeetsCE, FCC, RoHS, and BSMI safety/EMC standards.

Note: While discontinued, the Z8’s security framework remains robust, with newer models (Z9/Z11) offering enhanced features like touchscreen biometrics.

Yes, the Dejavoo Z8 can integrate with existing POS systems through SPIn (Semi-Integration Solution). This allows it to connect with third-party POS software while maintaining PCI compliance and supporting all major payment methods (EMV, NFC, magstripe). However, it primarily operates in standalone mode and lacks advanced POS features like inventory management unless paired with a gateway like iPOSpays for value-added services (e.g., QuickBooks integration, post-batch tip adjustments).

Key Integration Notes:

• SPIn Compatibility: Enables basic data exchange (transaction amounts, approvals) with external POS systems.
• Limitations: Requires processor-specific compatibility checks, as not all processors support SPIn or the Z8’s features (e.g., direct customer support via F4 button).
• Cloud POS: Some versions (e.g., Z8 WiFi) are designed for cloud-based POS platforms likeVend or Kounta, but need a gateway.

For deeper integration (e.g., custom APIs), developers can use Dejavoo’s SDK and payment gateway tools.

(Note: The Z8 is discontinued; newer models like Z9/Z11 offer broader POS integration.)
