In addition, a Tri communication device with built-in Wi-Fi is also available for convenience and versatility.

Dejavoo point-of-sale devices run on Linux and may be downloaded and updated through a USB connection in less than a minute. The Dejavoo Z8 has a high-speed thermal printer, a backlit display with excellent contrast, and a privacy barrier. The Z8 has built-in loyalty and rewards features and a direct connection to the merchant site, which lets merchants examine their terminals, get batch alerts, order supplies, and access technical help remotely or by a button press.

What Is Dejavoo?

Dejavoo operates its own hosted gateway platform to support Denovo Network accounts while maintaining PCI Compliance requirements with Dejavoo hosting Dejavoo payment terminals. Dejavoo’s Denovo Network is a hosted gateway service for PIN Debit transactions, which Dejavoo has been offering since 2006 as an independent solution from any network or acquiring bank. In addition to Denovo as a building block, Dejavoo Network Gateway also offers EMV and NFC capabilities.

In addition to its core products, Dejavoo recently launched the ability to process payment using their eWallets, allowing merchants using compatible contactless terminals to offer their customers the option of using their gadgets to complete a purchase.

With all these features and benefits available in one package – not to mention free terminal provisioning – it’s no wonder Dejavoo has received praise for its Dejavoo Z8 product line, winning the Global Contactless Award for Best New Payment Product.
