What Verifone Commander is
Verifone Commander connects forecourt, payment and in-store operations for fuel and convenience retailers. Its Site Controller authorizes pumps, routes payments and manages fueling positions centrally. Commander Central provides browser-based control of prices, promotions, site settings, updates and configurations across locations. The C18 point-of-sale system supports cashier and self-service modes, configurable layouts, self-checkout and age verification. Commander Payments handles credit, debit, fleet, contactless and mobile-wallet payments. The Electronic Payments Server connects processors, fleet-card systems and loyalty-program managers; Commander Fleet supports WEX and Comdata through a C18 without another device. Inventory management, employee permissions, sales reporting and multi-location support are included. The controller uses secure real-time Linux, requires broadband for Commander Central, and lists Windows and iOS remote-management support. Verifone describes it as PCI DSS 4.0.1 ready and certified across major North American oil brands and dispenser types. Pricing is on request; Commander Fleet is $50.00 per month.
