Payment module for system integrators who want to develop their own Level 3 payment application

The cVEND plug is a compact payment terminal that is available in its standard version without a housing and disappears practically invisibly behind plastic or glass fronts. At approx. 80 mm x 70 mm, it is barely larger than a credit card. Thanks to its modular concept, it is also available as a partially integrated or surface-mounted version.
The plug has the latest PCI 5.x and EMVCo. certifications.
In addition to standard connections such as RS232, USB and LAN, it offers a slot for expansion boards such as SAM modules, a socket for a μSD card, additional hardware interfaces, LTE connectivity and extended power supplies. Interaction with the customer takes place via 6 LEDs and a buzzer, which is also suitable for noisy environments. Depending on the application, it is available in various software configurations.

flex

With flex, the cVEND payment terminal can be individually integrated. cVEND plug flex offers a secure Linux-based operating system and a wide range of certified Level 2 kernels: VISA, Mastercard, American Express, Discover JCB, RuPay, Union Pay and PURE, and with the optional SDK you can develop your own Level 3 open-loop / payment applications and your own closed-loop applications. The security architecture of cVEND plug flex and the key inception infrastructure of FEIG also enable PCI P2PE approval of the Level 3 application. Migration from closed-loop to open-loop is possible at any time.

Modular concept for more possibilities

No matter if fully integrated, partially integrated or for surface mounting – with cVEND plug you have the free choice due to its modular design. Wherever the terminal cannot be completely integrated into a vending machine with a glass or plastic front, it can be partially recessed with the front housing. If metal surfaces make integration difficult or if you want to save yourself the trouble of creating cut-outs, the cVEND plug with distance frame and front housing can be easily mounted on surfaces. For a better user experience, additional information such as accepted payment methods can be intuitively applied to the terminal via front stickers.

Extension options of the cVEND plug

The Vending Extension Board offers an MDB interface as well as digital inputs/outputs. For example, single-price systems can be implemented via relay control. Maintenance or communication with a cellular modem takes place via the integrated USB host interface.

The SAM Extension Board was specially developed for applications in public transport. It can be used to implement additional applications such as VDV-KA, ITSO, Cipurse or Mifare. The board provides 4 SAM sockets (ID000 format) and one socket for μSD memory cards.
