Credit card for change machine

[Jason Studer]

I am looking to add a CC swiper, tap, and even chip if available to my Rowe BC1400 with the Mars acceptor conversion.
I dispense tokens, and have reads in the bays, but cannot justify CC readers on vending machine and vacuum since they do not produce enough revenue, and the reader do not always read in the bays on worn out magnetic strip Any help with hardware and software solutions would be great, Thank you, Jason

I added a cryptopay swiper to a Hamilton drs. I do one swipe for $10. ( ten $1 tokens) It was super easy. I just tapped into the $5 wire from the validator, and had crypto program 2 pulses to it when card is swiped. I added a relay from the swiper power source that is activated by the " out of service" light. This prevents card from being charged if changer is in an out of service condition. I would think you could make this same set up work on a Rowe.

My thought is an LED 7 and swiper cost about $700 Tap another $500 . If you went to count up on vacs you don't think it could generate an extra $3 / day?

I would hate to try to educate all the customers on a count up timer, I am in an area where there are a lot of non-English speaking people, and would end up getting a bunch of back charges, tike I already do with the wash CC readers.

You can install any of the card readers, Nayax, Monex, Cyptopay on a bill changer. As long as you can get a pulse output you’ll be fine.
