"Contactless payment is revolutionizing the world of vending machines.
With just a simple tap, transactions are completed seamlessly, offering numerous advantages to merchants by improving the management of their self-service operations.
But how does contactless payment work, and which solution should you choose for your vending machines? Let's break it down."
An unattended or self-service payment solution refers to technology that allows customers to complete transactions without the assistance of an employee or cashier.
Commonly found in kiosks, vending machines, and other automated systems, these solutions make access to products or services faster and more intuitive.
Contactless payment solutions rely on NFC technology (Near Field Communication), enabling a customer's device (bank card or smartphone) to communicate with the merchant's terminal without physical contact.
Security:
Thanks to current regulations, banking details are securely transmitted, reducing fraud risks.
If you're considering implementing contactless payment solutions for vending machines (coffee, snacks, padlocks, first aid supplies, condoms, playing cards, detergent pods, umbrellas, tights, tickets, etc.), here's what you need to know:
Opt for terminals designed for effortless integration into existing vending machines.
A compact, robust model with multiple connectivity options ensures smooth integration across various scenarios.
Select a terminal that meets physical protection standards (such as IP54 and IK08), ensuring resistance to shocks and weather conditions for intensive indoor and outdoor use.
The primary advantages of contactless payment terminals are simplicity and speed.
A modern alternative is SoftPOS integration, where the smartphone acts as the payment terminal. This mobile and flexible solution supports NFC payments, such as those processed via Paywish.
Today's consumers expect fast, seamless transactions, often using smartphones or bank cards for purchases.
Contactless payment enhances customer convenience and increases sales potential.
Eliminates cash-handling risks and reduces errors with electronic transactions, offering complete traceability.
Frees up time for teams to focus on higher-value tasks instead of cash collection.
A notable benefit during and after the pandemic, contactless solutions align with modern hygiene and safety expectations.
