Keep taking payments when your connection drops

Internet drops. Networks go down. Terminals get damaged. Any of these can stop you taking payments and none of them are predictable. Eftpos NZ builds redundancy into every terminal as standard, and offers optional extras that cover the scenarios where built-in protection isn't enough.

Offline Mode - included with every terminal

When your internet drops, your terminal can keep processing. Transactions are stored securely and uploaded automatically once connectivity returns. There's nothing to configure, and nothing extra to pay. It's just there when you need it.

Fast swap-outs

When a terminal needs repair or replacement, our swap-out service has you covered. We’ll get a replacement to you fast through courier delivery, field technicians, or one of our emergency rescue sites. Want an instant backup onsite? Add a Swap Box and keep a preconfigured terminal ready to activate in minutes if your main one goes down.

Manage repair costs with Terminal Plus

Accidents happen, but a dropped terminal or liquid spill shouldn’t break your budget. Terminal Plus helps cover repair and replacement costs for a simple monthly fee, capping the maximum repair charge at $300 + GST per terminal. It’s a cost-effective way to keep repairs predictable and avoid unexpected bills.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Offline Mode work?

Offline Mode is built into every Verifone terminal. If your internet connection drops, your terminal will automatically store transactions securely and process them once it reconnects.

What’s the difference between Offline Mode and Backup SIMs?

Offline Mode lets you keep taking payments temporarily, in a limited capacity when the internet is down. A Backup SIM provides an extra layer of protection by automatically switching your terminal to mobile data if your main connection fails, so you stay connected in real time.

How do swap-outs work?

If your terminal needs repair or replacement, we’ll send a working device to you fast. Swap-outs are completed via courier delivery, Field Service Representative car stock, or at one of our rescue sites nationwide.

What is Swap Box, and how does it help with redundancy?

Swap Box is an optional add-on that lets you keep a spare terminal onsite. If your main device goes down, you can activate your backup terminal instantly — no waiting for courier delivery.

What does Terminal Plus cover?

Terminal Plus helps cover repair and replacement costs for your EFTPOS terminals. You’ll pay a small monthly fee per terminal, and repair costs are capped at $250 + GST per device — protecting your budget from unexpected expenses.

Is there an extra cost for redundancy solutions?

Offline Mode and swap-outs are included with all Verifone terminals.

Optional add-ons include:

  • Backup SIM – $5 + GST per terminal, per month

  • Swap Box – $25 + GST per swap box, per month

  • Terminal Plus – $9.95 + GST per terminal, per month
