I need a pos machine which has an API for .NET. I have a Verifone vx 680 and I contacted their help desk and asked about their supporting APIs. They wrote me

They are not. You'll need to purchase a Developer's Package, and attend a training session first. Information on this process can be found here: http://www.verifonedevnet.com/verifone/jsp/devnet/account/dnGetCertified.jsp

So, for using that API, I have to buy some package.

What I need is some kind of a printer/pos which can print like this

ordering number

Customers will push buttons and then I will print those numbers. However, I must be able to print these numbers via computer. In other words, I must control this printer with my program and I will be able to see which numbers printed. At the close of the day, everything must be restarted (that is, counting starts from "one" on each day)

I searched zebra printers' support APIs for .NET, but I am also looking for for a cheaper one. I don't need a developed device because it will just print some numbers to order.

  • I went to the Verifone training. It was intensely boring. – Matt Whitfield Oct 17 '12 at 14:50

    If you just want a printer that you can connect to a standard Windows PC, then go with one of the EPSON TM ones. Most devices come with what are called OPOS drivers - a quick bit of searching will help you find how to interact with OPOS from .NET (it's pretty easy). – Matt Whitfield Oct 18 '12 at 08:50

There is no api, you need to develop your own verifone POS application to create a communication between your Verifone 680 and your .NET desktop application.
