Mobile Payment Solutions for Vending Machines

As long as your vending machines have NFC readers installed, you can accept mobile payments from smartphones, smart watches, and other wearables. Advertise that the machines are ready for mobile payments and attract more customers: consumers love the flexibility of choosing from different payment options. QR-based payments are different of course, because they need supporting hardware.

Mobile payments are growing in popularity across Europe. According to Visa Europe, 77% of European consumers used mobile banking and/or payments in 2017 and 68% used a digital wallet. When you integrate mobile payments into your vending machines, you make sure that your business is taking advantage of this trend. 

In addition to providing a quick and convenient service for customers, mobile payments also allow you to develop your vending business in other ways. You can easily integrate app-based payments with a loyalty scheme, for example. Or, with smart, connected machines you can recommend products to your mobile customers based on their previous purchases. The sky's the limit in modern vending! 

CCV is committed to providing the right payment solution for your business. With our help you can accept contactless bank cards at your vending machines — alongside mobile payments, chip-and-pin bank cards, and also cash payments. We will work with you to identify the best payment options to offer your customers, based on your products, audience, and locations. 

As a vending machine operator, you aim to offer your customers the quickest and most convenient service. CCV supports you in providing a great customer experience, with flexible payment solutions that reflect the everyday needs of consumers. Our mobile payment solutions give you complete confidence, with the highest standards of security and reliability. 

A wide variety of mobile payment options are available, and CCV can help you determine the right ones for your vending machines. You can accept payments from all the major smartphone wallet brands, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. In addition, you can integrate other app-based payments: pre-paid apps, subscription apps, QR code apps, and more.

Beyond these, CCV can even enable your customers to pay for vends with their wearable devices. Smart watches, fitness trackers, rings, even NFC stickers – accept all these at the vending machine to give your customers total flexibility. Mobile payments can be integrated with loyalty schemes, so you can get to know customers better and incentivise them to come back for more. A smart vending machine that accepts app payments can also suggest products based on a customer’s purchase data or demographic.

Smart technology is not just a great way to attract loyal customers, however. Once your machines are connected to the IoT (Internet of Things), they can tell your central supply network when they need restocking or maintenance. This will help you streamline your operations, so that machines are always running at their best and stocked with your customers’ favourite products. CCV provides payment technology to smart vendors, working with all stakeholders to maximise efficiency and profitability.
