Who This Is For
Vending payment solutions are suitable for organisations that want to give users a faster, more convenient way to pay while improving visibility of sales and machine performance.
They are particularly relevant for sites moving away from cash-only vending, replacing older payment equipment or adding payment technology to an existing machine.
Ideal for:
Your route to the right vending payment solution
Step 1
Assess
Review your machines and payment requirements
We review the existing vending equipment, likely users, current payment options, connectivity and whether the machine needs an open-loop card-payment solution, prepaid payment capability or a wider connected-vending setup.
Step 2
Recommend
Choose the right payment and telemetry setup
Livewell recommends a suitable payment terminal, connectivity and telemetry arrangement based on your machine type, user needs and operational requirements.
Step 3
Price
Proposal and commercial options
We provide pricing for the recommended payment solution, including equipment, installation, connectivity, transaction processing and any ongoing support requirements.
Step 4
Install
Installation and configuration
The payment device is fitted, configured and tested, with product pricing, connectivity and site settings set up as agreed.
Step 5
Support
Remote monitoring and ongoing support
Livewell can provide practical support for payment devices and use connected-vending technology to help monitor sales, machine status, alerts and payment performance.
Cashless Vending Payment Solutions from Livewell
Cashless payment has become the expected way to buy from vending machines. A modern payment terminal allows users to pay quickly without coins or cash, using a bank card, contactless card, mobile wallet, QR code or supported prepaid payment method.
Livewell can supply payment technology for new and existing vending machines, including compact retrofit devices where suitable. This can help extend the working life of existing equipment while introducing modern cashless payments and connected-vending capability.
A connected payment setup can do more than process transactions. It can provide sales reports, remote software updates, machine alerts and live operational visibility, helping Livewell and site operators understand machine performance without relying solely on manual checks.
The right setup depends on the machine, the site, expected users, mobile-signal strength and whether the objective is simple contactless payment, better operational data or a more complete connected-vending solution.

Key Benefits

Where It Works Best
Cashless vending payment solutions work particularly well where users expect easy card or mobile payment and the operator needs better visibility of machine activity.
