The decline of cash — and what it means for vending

A cash-only machine is increasingly a machine people just walk past. Removing that friction is one of the simplest ways to lift vending sales at any location.

What payment types modern machines support

Our machines accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, plus debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and physical cash.

Benefits for the people buying

No need for exact change, a quick tap-to-pay transaction, better security, and no more bill-rejection frustration at the slot.

Benefits for machine performance

Cashless machines consistently show higher transaction values, fewer abandoned purchases, less vandalism risk, and far simpler accounting.

How going cashless actually increases sales
