With VeriFone's acquisition of Lipman USA, you may wonder where you can purchase new, used or refurbished Lipman terminals, parts and accessories for new business set-up or replacement of existing Lipman POS terminals. Often machines become obsolete,or earmarked for phase out, after a merger or acquisition. This leaves business owners with the costly and time-consuming task of either trying to find a replacement when an existing machine has gone down or retraining employees on new systems. Understanding these potential issues, VeriFone decided to continue to produce some of the Lipman NURIT credit card terminal line. Thus, finding these and older unused, used or refurbished Lipman credit card terminals is not difficult.
What sets Lipman terminals apart from the rest? Key features such as signature capture, store and forward, small footprint and wireless. To quickly find the Lipman credit card machines or NURIT terminals to meet your needs and your budget, consider these questions:
1. Do you want an unused or new Lipman POS system or NURIT terminal?
2. Do you want used or refurbished Lipman credit card machines?
3. Do you have the right Lipman POS parts and accessories?
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Acquire new Lipman POS systems or NURITs
Acquire NURIT direct from the manufacturer or unused Lipman POS systems and new NURITs at steep discounts from online retailers.
I recommend: Choose new NURIT by contacting
VeriFone directly or compare wireless Lipman terminals and NURIT terminals at the
Merchant Warehouse.
Buy used or refurbished Lipman POS systems
Online POS equipment retailers also offer a wide selection of warranted older, hard-to-find used or refurbished Lipman and NURIT terminals at prices typically well below half of new models.
I recommend: Compare terminal pricing at
Terminals Direct and
CreditCardTerminal.com and then negotiate with a live salesperson for a lower price before purchasing refurbished NURIT terminals.
Purchase parts and accessories for Lipman merchant terminals and NURIT
With Lipman USA no longer manufacturing the Lipman line of terminals, purchasing much needed parts or accessories, especially for older models, can prove difficult.
I recommend: Choose parts and accessories such as thermal or two-ply paper, batteries, and power cords from VeriFone or the online retailer from whom you purchased your terminal. You could also obtain these items from
MerchantSource® and
The Merchant Equipment Store.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- Consider discount offers and trade-ins when comparing Lipman and NURIT terminal offers. Also check the fine print, site terms of use or lease agreement for any extraneous fees for return or replacement of equipment such as re-stocking or overnight delivery fees.
- Confirm manufacturer's warranty coverage for your Lipman terminal(s) by contacting VeriFone directly and ask for confirmation in writing (especially for models produced before the acquisition). Also, confirm merchant service provider and retail warranty offers such as technical support.
- Always research the design date and model type and key features of credit card equipment in "free equipment with merchant services" offers, online or by contacting other merchant service providers or VeriFone, before signing an agreement. Some scam merchant service providers offer free terminals (typically used or refurbished) as an incentive to new merchants to sign one or two year contracts and then inform these merchants (typically within 6 months or sooner) that their "free" equipment is obsolete or does not meet the industry standard.
