**Simple, secure payments on every device in every region**

* One integration
  * Across regions
  * Across hosts
  * Across connections
  * Across payment protocols
  * Across Verifone platforms & devices
    * POS app written for CM5 or Carbon will also work on an Android BYOD with an e280.
  * Across Merchant platforms & devices
    * POS app written for Android on Carbon will use the same APIs and flows if ported to iOS, Windows or Linux.
* Simplifies and streamlines the experience for the developer
  * The POS can integrate once and it works regardless of the region, host, or Verifone device.
  * One set of documentation covering 4 merchant platforms (Android, iOS, Windows, Linux) and Verifone devices (Carbon, Carbon Mobile, e280, …)
  * Unified API and error codes across Verifone and Merchant platforms
