Overview
To accept credit cards (swipe/chip) or contactless payments (ApplePay, AndroidPay, NFC) with LaundryCard the system must be running Version 9 or newer, if you are not running Version 9 you must upgrade before adding EMV acceptance to the system. CCI has incorporated an 'End to End' solution for accepting payments from mag-stripe and EMV chip-enabled cards along with NFC transaction such as ApplePay and GooglePay.
Important
EMV and NFC transactions require specialized hardware, if you are currently accepting mag-stripe based credit cards you will need to purchase an EMV upgrade from a CCI authorized distributor which includes all the hardware and software required.
In order to accept EMV credit cards with LaundryCard, store owners must have a gateway account with our compatible gateway processor.
v1 cabinets can only use Datacap.
v2 and LITE cabinets can only use Worldnet.
If EBT acceptance is desired, the hardware detailed below for v2 and Lite cabinets is required and supported. EBT is not available on v1 cabinets. For more information on accepting EBT payments visit: Accepting EBT in Your LaundryCard Store - Requirements & Pricing
Requirements
X-Changers running LaundryCard v9 or later.
EMV-compatible credit card reader (details found in the Cabinet Upgrade Kits section below)
Compatible gateway processor (depending on your cabinet type).
