End of Support for Verifone VX805 and Worldpay
As with any electronics companies make the decision to stop supporting equipment that requires additional security updates and patches. It is normally good practice to announce an end of life or end of support deadline to give customers the ability to switch to new equipment. Payment processing terminals are no different. That brings us to a new announcement surrounding the Verifone VX805 payment processing terminal.
Verifone has announced end of support for the Verifone VX805 payment terminal for desktop on April 30, 2021.

- Critical or Severity 1 software issues or errors and vulnerabilities with security
- Mandates issued by card payment brands and PCI compliance will be addressed one on one. A plan will be put together while working with you on any support for development to keep your equipment within the mandate of compliance. A statement of work will be written, and appropriate compensation may be required.
