Feature Parity - Mx9 vs Engage vs Neo

Last updated: 19-Jan-2026

This section outlines the differences in commands and functionality across the Mx9 (VOS), Engage (VOS2) and Neo (VOS3) application specifications. It is designed to evaluate the parity between these platforms and serves as a key reference for users migrating terminals or platform from one OS to another.

Defining Solution Type

Terms	Definitions
MX	Verifone MX Solutions which is applicable for all MX devices.
SCA 4.0 (Engage)	The platform version which is applicable for all Engage (VOS2) devices.
SCA 5.0 (Neo)	The platform version which is applicable for all Neo and Neo2 (VOS3) devices.
SCA - FDRC	SCA Enterprise solution connects directly to Fiserv (FDRC), which serves as the processor’s authorization host for handling transaction approvals.
SCA - UGP	SCA Classic solution connects to UGP (Unified Global Protocol). This is the Verifone Payment gateway (also known as PAYware Connect) that will accept the UGP message specification and process the transaction to end processor’s authorization host for handling transaction approvals. SCA UGP is also referred as “Point Classic Implementations”.
SCA - TSYS	SCA Enterprise solution connects directly to TSYS, which serves as the processor’s authorization host for handling transaction approvals.
SCA - Worldpay	SCA Enterprise solution connects directly to Worldpay (Vantiv), which serves as the processor’s authorization host for handling transaction approvals.
SCA - Chase	SCA Enterprise solution connects directly to Chase, which serves as the processor’s authorization host for handling transaction approvals.
SCA - GSC	SCA solution as GSC (Global Services Connector) connects to Verifone Greenbox (Cloud Services) gateway, which processes the transaction to end processor’s authorization host for handling transaction approvals.

Supported Industries

Feature/Functionality List	Decsription	Notes
Retail	Payment type industry systems process transactions between the customer and business merchant account through card networks, banks, and payment processors, without features like tips, servers, or table management.
Restaurant	Industry type provides merchants with retail-style payment tools like POS systems, online ordering, mobile payments, and features for tips, servers, and table management.
MOTO(Mail Order/Telephone Order)	This is used for payments when the card is not present, like phone or mail orders. It’s common in catalogue sales, travel, and service businesses.
Non Petro Fleets	like those using natural gas, use payment methods such as credit and fleet cards. They need systems to track fuel, manage maintenance, and access charging stations.	Supported for Worldpay and GSC solutions only.
Banking/Cash advance		Supported for Worldpay solution only.

Integration Modes

Feature/Functionality List	Decsription	Notes
Semi-Integrated mode of Application	Connects directly to the payment host on the terminal. The POS uses an API/command to request payment authorization via the payment application on the terminal.
Standalone mode of Application	Connects directly to the payment host on the terminal. The payment authorization has been initiated by the cashier manually on the terminal.	Not supported for GSC solution.
Standalone + External PINPad (2-Piece Solution)	A separate payment application handles the transaction, while customers enter PIN on a different device (the external PIN pad). The main application manages the payment and communicates with the payment processor.	Not supported for UGP and GSC solutions only.
Semi Integrated + External Pinpad (2 Piece Solution)	A payment system keeps card data separate from the POS. The POS starts the transaction, the PINPad reads and encrypts the card details, and the processor approves the payment, sending a response back to the POS.	Supported for UGP solution only.
Pay at the Table (PATT)	A payment system that allows customers to pay at the table without waiting for the server to process the payment at a central point. The payment is done using mobile devices, QR codes, or portable payment devices the server brings to the table.	Supported for Worldpay solution only.

POS Messaging Interface (Commands)

Security Commands

Feature/Functionality List	Decsription	MX	Engage (SCA4)	Neo (SCA5)	Notes
Register POS	Registers a POS to the device’s trusted list and sets the data required to verify if its transactions are authentic.
Register Encryption POS (1.0, 2.0)	This is used when Full Packet Encryption is to be implemented. Full Packet Encryption - ability to exchange an AES encryption key and encrypt POS transaction data between POS and SCA application on the device.
UnRegister POS	Removes the POS registration from device’s trusted list and removes the data used to verify authenticity of the sender.
UnRegister All POS	Unregisters a device from all the currently registered POS systems to which it is paired.
Test MAC	Validates if the MAC is correct and that a POS has been successfully added.

Session/Admin Commands

Feature/Functionality List	Decsription	Notes
Start Session	This is used to start a new session, which can be for a payment transaction or to display line item information.
Finish Session	Finishes the payment process (payment and line item transactions) and closes the session.
Set Date and Time	Sets the device to a specific date and time in YYYYMMDDhhmmss format (ss is optional).
Get Counter	Retrieves the last counter used for a given MAC label.
Lane Closed	Closes the active session and optionally displays a corresponding text message on the Idle screen.
Apply Updates	Allows POS to signal the device to immediately apply any pending updates from VHQ. SCA will inform VHQ to defer the updates if a transaction is in progress.	Partially supported for Engage (SCA4) and Neo (SCA5).
Get Merchant Details	Retrieves the merchant details from the list of merchant accounts registered for Multi Merchant functionality.	Supported for UGP solution only.

Payment Commands

Feature/Functionality List	Decsription	Notes
Sale transaction (CAPTURE)	This transaction captures payment authorization(s) and marks them eligible for settlement.
Refund transaction (CREDIT)	This transaction returns funds to a cardholder’s account. It is typically used after a batch has been settled or closed.
Void transaction	This transaction removes a transaction from the open batch.
Post Authorization(Force) transaction	This transaction places an approved voice-authorized transaction into the open batch.
Pre Authorization transaction	This transaction reduces the cardholder’s limit to buy and can be considered the first half of a Sale. A Capture (Sale) transaction is required to place the transaction into settlement.
Sale Completion transaction	This transaction places an approved Authorization transaction into the open batch.
Voice Authorization transaction	This transaction is used to place a voice-authorized transaction into the database ONLY – it does not place the transaction into the open batch. Perform a Voice Authorization (Auth with an AUTH_CODE) rather than a Post Authorization (Capture with an AUTH_CODE) when the transaction amount may differ slightly from what was originally authorized or if you want to settle a transaction on a different day than when you voice-authorized it. A Capture is required to place the transaction into the open batch.	Not supported for FDRC, TSYS and GSC solutions.
