Payment Options – ESD Smart Cards 5/10/2018
During my college years, I regularly visited the Laundromat. Back then, the method of payment was quarters, and I carried a baggie full on each visit. That isn’t the case today. Self Service Laundry facilities are changing with the times, and now customers have a number of payment methods available to them.
One popular method is ESD’s SmartCard System. Here’s what you need for this system: the cards, card slides, value transfer machines, and software. Below is a simplified version of how it all works:
The Cards – This is what the customer uses as their method of payment. They simply load a dollar amount onto the card, and then they can start doing laundry. Cards can be plain white or be customized.
Card Slides – This piece of equipment is mounted on a washer or dryer and is adaptable to most equipment brands. It checks the balance on the inserted card and will then send a signal to the machine to start if funds are available. Then it deducts the price from the card’s balance.
Value Transfer Machines – The VTM allows the customer to add money to the card with cash or a debit or credit card.
Software – Allows the owner to maintain or adjust pricing, adjust wash and dry cycle times, run specials, run various reports, and change the language the system uses.
