Coges Introduces Qpay Terminal for Vending Operators
Coges, a long-standing leader in payment technology for over 40 years, has teamed up with WiPay to introduce the Qpay terminal, an innovative solution designed specifically for vending operators. This payment device, designed specifically with vending operators’ challenges in mind, will help tackle operator challenges like system failures. These practical solutions will help keep customers happy and operations easier.
Smarter Solutions, Smoother Operations
For vending operators, a machine out of order means lost revenue and frustrated customers. Many traditional vending machines rely on external keypads and card readers that can easily break or malfunction, leading to expensive repairs and disruptions. The Qpay terminal tackles this head-on. By introducing a PIN-on-screen feature, it eliminates external keypads, a common source of wear and tear. Its contactless payment technology also reduces issues linked to older card systems. Together, these features ensure smooth and uninterrupted service, saving operators time and money.
“We know how important it is for vending machines to stay up and running, so we partnered with WiPay to bring the Qpay terminal into our lineup,” says Stephano Bertoldo, Product Marketing Manager at Coges. “By integrating this PIN-on-screen technology with our systems, we’re giving operators a dependable and modern payment solution that reduces downtime and keeps their machines running smoothly.”
A Tool for Minimizing Downtime, Maximizing Profits
Vending operators need more than just a payment system — they need tools to help their business run better. Gathering and analyzing data, however, can often feel overwhelming or out of reach. The Qpay terminal simplifies this. It connects seamlessly with Coges’ MyKey system, giving operators real-time access to valuable information like sales data, transaction histories, and customer trends. With these insights, operators can make smarter decisions about restocking, product offerings, and overall operations. The terminal also integrates securely with WiPay to ensure all transactions are tracked and transparent, helping operators stay on top of their financial reporting.
“Operators need a system that does more than process payments — it needs to help them understand and improve their business,” explains Stephano Bertoldo. “Qpay delivers real-time data that helps operators stay in control, whether it’s managing inventory or spotting customer preferences, which ultimately boosts their profitability.”
Built-In Security for Peace of Mind
Security is a constant concern for vending operators, especially in busy or high-risk locations. Cash-heavy vending machines can attract theft, and traditional card readers are at risk of tampering or fraud. The Qpay terminal has been designed with security in mind. Its encrypted communication ensures every transaction is protected, and the PIN-on-screen feature adds an extra layer of safety by guarding against skimming devices.
For more demanding environments, Coges is also developing the Q6000 — a vandal-proof version of the terminal — to provide operators with added peace of mind.
Ready for the Future of Vending
The Qpay terminal isn’t just another payment device — it’s a practical answer to some of the biggest issues vending operators face every day. Whether it’s keeping machines running smoothly, providing business insights, or ensuring secure transactions, Qpay is built to make life easier for operators while keeping customers satisfied.
As the vending industry continues to evolve, Qpay ensures operators have the tools they need to stay competitive, efficient, and secure.
