Still using old-style POS equipment?
• Terminals tend to expire after 3 years and cannot be replaced

• Newer than 2012, we can still upgrade you …• You provide the smartphone or iPad with a data plan: we provide:
• Card reader
• Blue tooth connected printer

Plan Ahead!
It takes a minimum of 6 weeks to apply
and receive your new equipment. Plan
to make the changeover before your

Television AdsTV Commercial #2
Kid: I used to hate vegetables.
But last week Mom took me to
the Farmers Market and we
had the best fun ever!
Everything was so fresh and
pretty.
We got to talk to the actual
farmers. I learned a lot.
Mommy says the food is local
and nutritious and we could
even use our food stamp/EBT
cards.
I’m still not sure I like broccoli,
but I love the Farmers Market!
