How to Buy an Eclipse Credit Card Machine
The Eclipse was produced by VeriFone, one of the leading manufacturers of credit card machines. However, VeriFone no longer manufactures the Eclipse. As a result, most Eclipse machines found on the market today are refurbished. An Eclipse credit card machine is noted for its ability to process credit cards and verify checks within seconds.
