Why Businesses Choose Dejavoo
Cash discount is native
Dejavoo terminals are among the most popular hardware for cash discount programs. The dual pricing calculation, receipt formatting, and customer display are all handled by the terminal firmware. Your processor configures it during setup, and the terminal automatically applies the correct pricing based on payment method. No manual input from your staff.
For the full breakdown of how cash discount works at the POS level, see our POS cash discount and financing guide.
Cost-effective
Dejavoo terminals typically cost less than comparable Clover or PAX models. For a merchant who needs reliable card acceptance and cash discount support without a full POS ecosystem, Dejavoo offers the best dollar-per-feature value.
U.S.-based support
Dejavoo is headquartered in New Jersey with domestic customer support. For merchants who have dealt with overseas support call centers from other terminal brands, this is a meaningful differentiator.
No monthly software fees
Unlike POS systems that charge $30-$70+/month for software, Dejavoo terminals have no recurring software costs. You pay for the hardware and your processing fees. That is it.

Setting Up a Dejavoo Terminal
1. Choose your model -- QD3 for basic countertop, QD4 for touchscreen, Z11 for wireless 2. Order through your processor -- Unison provides Dejavoo hardware pre-configured with your merchant account, pricing, and cash discount settings 3. Connect -- Ethernet for QD3/QD4, Wi-Fi for Z11 4. Test -- run a small transaction on your own card to verify everything works 5. Process -- you are live, typically within 1-2 business days of receiving the terminal
The Bottom Line
Dejavoo terminals are the practical choice for merchants who want reliable payment acceptance at a low cost, especially with cash discount programs. No monthly software fees, no app complexity, no unnecessary features. Plug in, process, save.
If you need more than a terminal -- inventory, employee management, reporting -- look at Clover. If you want a terminal with a smart touchscreen, consider the PAX A920. If you want the best value for straightforward card acceptance, Dejavoo is hard to beat.
