Dejavoo Z9

The Dejavoo Z9 is the quintessential countertop payment terminal—compact, reliable, and focused on doing one thing exceptionally well: processing payments. For businesses that need dependable payment acceptance without complexity, the Z9 delivers.

The color LCD display clearly shows transaction information, while the intuitive interface guides merchants and customers through the payment process with minimal confusion. New employees typically master the Z9 within minutes, not hours, reducing training time and errors.

An integrated thermal printer produces clear receipts quickly, and the compact footprint takes minimal counter space. Ethernet connectivity provides fast, reliable communication, while dial-up backup ensures you can process payments even during internet outages.

EMV chip and contactless acceptance meet current payment standards, and the magnetic stripe reader handles traditional cards. The Z9 processes all major credit cards, debit cards, and mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

The payment terminal market includes devices from Clover, PAX, Dejavoo, Ingenico, Verifone, and Square. Here is how the Dejavoo Z9 stands out.

vs Entry-Level Terminals

• Advanced reporting, employee management, and inventory tracking
• PCI-PTS certification with point-to-point encryption
• Customer engagement features built in

vs Proprietary Systems (Square, Stripe)

• Interchange-plus pricing saves 20–40% vs flat-rate
• No processor lock-in — you own the pricing relationship
• More hardware accessories and peripheral support

Integration Ecosystem

Kitchen displays, barcode scanners, cash drawers, and customer-facing screens — all configured by Unison's team so everything works together from day one.

Every card transaction involves three fee layers. Understanding them is the first step to paying less.

The Three Fee Layers

• Interchange — set by Visa/Mastercard, paid to the issuing bank (non-negotiable)
• Assessment — charged by the card network (non-negotiable)
• Processor markup — the only negotiable part of your fees

Interchange-Plus vs Flat-Rate

Flat-rate processors (Square at 2.6% + 10¢, Stripe at 2.9% + 30¢) charge the same on every transaction. That means you overpay on debit cards where actual interchange is often under 0.5%.

Unison's interchange-plus pricing shows you the real cost. The average business saves 20–40% after switching. Read our guide to lowering fees.
