programming custom functionality into Verifone or Ingenico - where to find SDK?

Question

I'm trying to get my hands on some low-end Verifone or Ingenico terminals for a custom e-voucher application. I found the devices at the right pricing and with the right functionality, but I'm quite dazzled because I can't find any information anywhere about how to program custom functionality into these things?!

I hope I'm not into NASACIATOPSECRET land now? Or maybe we're supposed to purchase SDKs or whatnot?

The farthest I got was some file listings on VeriFone's site that require login for download but I can't find any signup link.

Would appreciate any pointers.

Assuming you're using the Mx800 series of devices you're going to need the programming guide as well as FormManager (in their Mx800 Integration Kit) to actually create the UI. Unfortunately I think they only grant access to that portal for folks that are either registered Enterprise customers or go through their certification program.
