Accepting EMV and contactless payments with LaundryCard
- Steve Marcionetti
- Chris Kite
Overview
In order 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 prior to adding EMV acceptance to the system. In order to offer an EMV compliant solution 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 WorldNet Payments. Contact CCI for details on how to obtain an account.
If EBT acceptance is desired, the hardware detailed below for v2 and Lite cabinets are 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.
