Frequently asked questions

Learn more

Legacy systems like Ruby2 and Topaz were built for a different era. Commander modernizes your entire site — delivering faster performance, stronger security, and the flexibility to support today's payment and retail demands.

Older systems lack self-checkout, advanced touch gestures, and modern payment support. They also increase compliance risk and make it harder to adopt mobile payments, loyalty, and contactless technology.

Verifone provides a structured upgrade process with planning, migration support, and training to minimize downtime. Most sites transition smoothly with little impact to day-to-day operations.

Verifone evaluates your current setup and recommends the most cost-effective upgrade path — reusing existing components wherever possible.

Commander and Commander C18 Point of Sale are built on modern architecture — enabling faster transaction processing, quicker system response, and a smoother experience for staff and customers.

Upgrading unlocks EMV, contactless, and mobile wallet payments — so your site is ready for the payment methods your customers already prefer.

Commander includes built-in encryption, tokenization, and centralized controls that help reduce fraud risk and simplify PCI DSS 4.0 compliance compared to legacy systems.

Yes. Commander enables easy integration with loyalty programs, digital promotions, and third-party applications — giving you more ways to attract and retain customers.

Commander centralizes fuel, payments, and store operations — reducing manual work, improving visibility, and making it easier to run your business day to day.
