I'm not sure about PayFinders, honestly. For instance, one mall Subway location on there doesn't seem to have VX520s that I've seen, or at least makes it not accessible to customers. They also claim that See's Candies supports it but I have not seen their Ingenico terminals do anything other than swipe.

Payfinders is a real mixed bag as a JCPenney listed accepts it and Five Guys is listed so it looks like they do in fact support as they use MX915's: https://scontent-dft4-1.xx.fbcdn.net...34&oe=58337294 But then there are places such as Hy-Vee and Kum & Go who are listed and neither have accepted it in years.

The Five Guys near me hasn't gotten them yet as of a few weeks ago but is listed on there. I suppose there is a chance that they have them now though.

The Pay Finders app isn't even optimised for iPhone 6, despite the app's audience being mostly iPhone 6/6s users.

The app seems to render okay for me but it does occasionally take a while to pull up data.

I'm just mildly bothered that the developer hasn't done native resolution. It looks a bit blurry on my phone.

Check for Scottsdale Arizona they have Mx915. That's the only five guys around me and they have it on really old looking Radiant Systems terminals. I didn't buy anything to see if they had EMV as I don't like their burgers at all.

MX915 on their ancient Radiant POS? I'm surprised. And why do they need an MX915? They don't even have a loyalty programme, there's already a consumer-facing display, and how often do they get an order requiring signature?

On a side note, all I like from them are their chips. Amazing when you combine with malt. (Yeah, my British side is showing.)

Hmm, I tried to move the map in the app to there but it was giving me a hard time. I'll have to try again later.

Yes. This is the case where a Vx820 would do them just fine. Unless they are future proofing for some sort of loyalty setup i am not sure.

Whataburger actually replaced their customer facing displays with Mx925s in the same spot! They show ads on them when it doesn't ask for a card- five guys might be wanting to show ads on them as well I'm sure- maybe in the future.

Dunkin kept their customer facing displays and they have mx915 also acting as a customer display. I'm sure new installations will only have the mx915 and no customer display on the POS station itself. - same for when these POS stations are due for replacement.

Honestly nothing is stopping them from using the Vx820 as a line item display, it does still have a full color screen that is touch as well! Same for loyalty!

In the end it must be what their merchant service provider and POS provider supports. I'm sure five guys etc really didn't have much of a say.

I would think that most/all of a particular terminal vendor's lineup has similar programming interfaces, no? So a retailer could substitute a VX820 for a MX915 and not have to do much (other than possibly telling the POS to just print a signature slip instead of expecting a digitized signature).

The Five Guys I'm currently at uses Radiant and doesn't have anything customer facing. It's also on PayFinders. Maybe in another couple weeks.

Unfortunately when you write an app for the Vx820, it has to be on the Vx820. If you write an app for the Mx915 it will only be compatible with the Mx925 as well.

Some places will write apps for both, such as Taco Bell, customer facing equipment is an Mx915 and drive through is a Vx805.

Is NFC enabled at Taco Bell on the MX915's also every Taco Bell I've ever been to has nothing customer facing.

Aren't they owned by the same people who own KFC? Seems kinda weird that they wouldn't standardize on the iPP series with all their brands.
