US-based First Data, a provider of electronic commerce and payment processing services, has introduced two new point-of-sale terminals, the FD300 and the FD200.
Developed based on merchant feedback, these devices offer capabilities that expand the company’s proprietary terminal line, said First Data.
According to the company, the FD300 is ideal for professional businesses needing to keep track of sales from separate businesses housed at the same location such as a dentist or doctor office. Its multi-merchant capability reportedly allows the merchant to designate which business the sale is applied to at the time of purchase with one terminal.
The FD200 is an all-in-one solution that supports merchants that frequently accept checks such as retailers and a multitude of other vertical industries, said First Data. It eliminates the need to use several devices to process different forms of payment. The FD200 offers multiple TeleCheck processing products including electronic check acceptance, which converts paper checks to electronic transactions at the point of sale, added First Data.
Russell Bird, senior vice president of First Data, said: With the FD200 and FD300, we are able to further expand the features and functionality of our proprietary terminal line. Still possessing many of the capabilities of the flagship FD100, each of these devices really serve our merchants in unique ways; the FD300 is perfect for operations that have multiple businesses at one location, and the FD200 can process multiple payment types including checks, all in one device.
