Set Up the Verifone UX700 With Commerce Engine

Description: Learn how to mount, connect, and activate your Verifone UX700 for use with Commerce Engine.

---

The Verifone UX700 is an unattended payment terminal designed for self-service environments. It supports tap, insert, swipe, and QR code scanning, and runs Commerce Engine. It connects to the Shift4 platform over Ethernet or Wi-Fi and is built for both indoor and outdoor installation.

Unbox the Device

1. Check the shipping box for signs of tampering.
2. Confirm the following items are present:
   • One Verifone UX700 payment terminal
   • One mounting frame
3. Inspect the device for physical tampering. Check the card slots, magnetic swipe reader, and contactless area for foreign objects.

Warning: If any inspection fails, contact Shift4 Support immediately and do not proceed with installation.

Note: Power supply and connectivity cables are shipped separately depending on your deployment configuration.

Mount the Device

The UX700 is designed to be mounted behind a panel with the front face flush to the surface. The mounting frame must be between 2mm and 14mm thick.

Before starting, you will need a DC power source within the 9–43V range and a mounting surface with an appropriate cutout.

1. Align the UX700 stud holes with the holes on the mounting surface.
2. Place the device flush onto the mounting slot.
3. Secure with M4 washers and screws. Tighten to the recommended torque of 7.0 kg-cm (6.1 lbf-in).

Connect the Cables

Connect all required cables to the back of the device before mounting, as ports face the rear.

1. Connect an Ethernet cable for network connectivity.
2. Connect the DC power supply (9–43V) to the power port.

Activate the Device

Note: Before starting activation, confirm you have a network connection available. Ethernet is recommended.

Once powered on, Commerce Engine will guide you through language selection, network setup, and software download. This process takes approximately 15–20 minutes and may include automatic reboots. When activation completes, the device displays the black Shift4 idle screen and is ready to accept payment requests.

Connect to Your POS or Kiosk Application

How the UX700 connects to your host application depends on your integration type.

• On-premise: Your host application sends payment requests directly to the device's IP address. Use port 8085 for S4 REST or port 8084 for OPI. The device must have a static IP address.
• On-device: The POS or kiosk application runs directly on the device alongside Commerce Engine. Payment requests are routed locally without requiring a network connection between the host application and the terminal.
• Cloud: Your host application sends requests to the Shift4 Cloud rather than directly to the device. Confirm that your host application includes the correct device parameters in each request — specifically device.manufacturer and device.serialNumber — and that it can reach the Shift4 Cloud endpoint. No static IP is required.

Consult your kiosk vendor or system integrator for specific connection steps.
