Payment Processing Hardware.
The most POS hardware options in the industry — terminals, smart devices, and mobile readers.
Built For You, Configured By Us.
PAX, Dejavoo, Valor, Clover, BBPOS — we match the device to your counter, your volume, and your pricing program instead of pushing one brand.
And with up to $5,000 toward upgrades, aging hardware is a solved problem.
- ★EMV, tap & mobile wallet readyEvery terminal accepts chip, contactless tap, and Apple Pay / Google Pay out of the box — meeting customers where they already pay and lifting authorization rates.
- ★P2PE encryption end to endCard data is encrypted at the read head and never exposed in the clear, shrinking your PCI scope and protecting you from the cost of a breach.
- ★Overnight replacement programIf a device fails, a preconfigured replacement is on its way overnight — your lane is never down for a shipping cycle waiting on a fix.
- ★Up to $5,000 toward upgradesOur limited-time program puts up to $5,000 toward modern hardware through 8/31/2026, so aging swipe-only terminals stop costing you sales and interchange.
Terminals That Just Work.
Payment processing hardware is the physical equipment that captures a card or wallet payment — countertop terminals, mobile card readers, PIN pads, smart terminals, and full POS stations. The right device depends on where the sale happens: a countertop terminal for a fixed counter, a wireless smart terminal for tableside or curbside, a Bluetooth reader for a truck or job site. Every modern device should take EMV chip, contactless tap, and mobile wallets as table stakes.
Hardware is also where merchants quietly take on risk. Since the EMV liability shift, running counterfeit-prone equipment means the merchant — not the bank — eats certain fraud losses. Lone Star Payments deploys current-generation, EMV and NFC-ready devices, programs them before they ship, and supports them after. Under several of our programs, qualifying merchants get that hardware placed at no upfront cost, so the equipment conversation stops being a capital-expense conversation.
2015 — the year the EMV liability shift moved counterfeit-card fraud losses onto merchants still running outdated terminals.
Where Payments Hurt
- ★Aging terminals that can’t take tap-to-pay, frustrating customers at the counter.
- ★Fraud liability quietly sitting on the merchant because equipment is outdated.
- ★Paying thousands upfront for hardware a processor should have placed.
- ★Devices that arrive unprogrammed with a setup hotline instead of help.
How Lone Star Fixes It
- ★Audit what you run today — our EMV liability shift guide explains what outdated equipment really costs you.
- ★Match the device to where the sale happens: counter, tableside, curbside, or in the field.
- ★Ask about no-upfront-cost placement — and read how “free” hardware offers actually work so you can compare honestly.
- ★Require devices to arrive programmed, tested, and backed by a real support line.
Payment Processing Hardware Owners Ask Us
Do I need a full POS station or just a terminal?
If you mainly need to take payment, a smart terminal does the job. If you also need inventory, staff management, and reporting, you want a full POS. Many merchants start with a terminal and grow into a station — we make the upgrade path easy.
Is “free” hardware ever actually free?
Sometimes — it depends on the agreement behind it. Reputable placement programs recover hardware cost through the processing relationship transparently; bad ones hide it in inflated rates and lease traps. We show you the math either way.
Can you install and swap equipment for Dallas-area businesses?
Yes. We’re based in Dallas, TX, and handle programming, deployment, and swaps across the metroplex and statewide — devices arrive ready to take a payment out of the box.
