Purchasing options
We recommend purchasing your compatible device through Vibrant. This allows us to:
Pre-configure the device: We can ensure the app is installed, set up, and optimised for your business needs upon arrival.
MDM Management (Optional): If you choose, we can manage your devices through Mobile Device Management (MDM) for centralised control and security updates.
Alternative device purchase:
You are free to purchase a compatible device directly from a retailer. Just ensure it meets the Android version and NFC chip requirements mentioned above.

NFC stands for Near Field Communication. It's a short-range wireless technology that allows two devices to communicate by touching them together or holding them very close (usually within a few centimeters). In the case of Vibrant payments, the NFC chip in your customer's card or phone communicates with the NFC chip in your Vibrant terminal to securely process the payment.
