Cashless Smart Vending

Cashless Smart Vending for DFW Workplaces

Mid Cities Vending smart coolers are fully cashless. Customers can use major credit cards, debit cards, and compatible mobile wallets through tap, chip, or swipe.

The purchasing process is simple and does not require a separate customer app.

How a purchase works

1. Present a payment method

Use a supported credit card, debit card, or compatible mobile wallet at the reader. Compatible tap-to-pay wallets include Apple Pay and Google Pay.

2. Open the cooler

After the payment method is authorized, the door unlocks.

3. Choose products

Open the door and take the items you want.

4. Close the door

Close the cooler when you are finished.

5. Complete the purchase

The system calculates the completed purchase and charges the payment method used.

No cash handling for your team

The workplace does not need to manage coins, bills, change, or cash collection. Customers use their own supported payment method, and Mid Cities Vending operates the cooler.

Temporary payment authorizations

Like other unattended payment systems, a transaction may involve a temporary authorization while the purchase is completed. The final posted charge reflects the completed purchase.

Users can contact Mid Cities Vending directly through the support QR code with transaction questions.

Support when something does not go as expected

Every machine includes a support QR code. Users can scan it to contact Mid Cities Vending about a transaction or machine concern.

We are locally operated and review legitimate concerns directly according to our values of integrity and fairness.

Why connectivity matters

The smart cooler needs reliable connectivity for payment and vending functions. Cellular service works for many placements. Guest Wi-Fi may only be requested for a heavily interior area where cellular reception is insufficient.

Connectivity is reviewed during placement planning.
