@BrianRoemmele So there's no charge for the "upgrade" because VeriFone, Ingenico, others build NFC into those terminals. -

@BrianRoemmele Merchants are being charged, and often much more than $50, for EMV-ready terminals, though most ship with NFC. -
@jameswester Have done extensive research in this area and NFC upgrades for most processors are $0, or the merchant moves on.
