Corvus Corax Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Is anyone using or has used this system? I t seems like a less expensive way to add cashless sales. I was wondering about the hardware cost to install in a machine and what the fees were. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Use the search function in this forum to answer your questions. I can say that the device is about $50 to buy and that you will have 4% deducted from each transaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindVending Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 It's ok. Not much better than that. Customers have to download an app to their phone than deposit to said app. I tested 20 units and wasn't very inpressed. Credit card readers are definitely better. However with Lagrange so cheap and no monthly fee they are good for smaller accounts that can't quite justify a cc reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfdogs Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 In the right location, PayRange is great. Younger, blue collar works in a fixed location really go for it. IMHO, something like this will replace card readers in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Corax Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 I pulled the trigger and bought 7 of them. They work on anything with MDB and cashless support. Since I get my machines from PepsiCo it was a no brainer. I added it to 5 PepsiCo machines and 2 revision door AP112s. I'm on it like a hobo on a ham sandwich. Hope I don't get burned. But for $89 per, it seems pretty reasonable. You can buy the base model Blukey for $79 but the $89 version allows you to add a CC reader later on.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir SnackAlot Vending Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I am currently running about 10 of the Payrange devices and I love it. They are sooo simple to install. Word of advice, once you install them grab some of the young people around and show them how it works and it normally takes off from there. If you have accounts with multiple locations they love the fact that their money on the app, ia good at all locations.

Corvus Corax Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 So here is the package as it comes from Payrange. It is the Blukey Equal. Each one comes with 2 stickers to put on you machine.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir SnackAlot Vending Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Congratulations, you are now ready to receive cashless payments. Looks like you ordered the Plus for all of them but you could have gotten away with the regular version. Supposedly the plus is only needed if you are going to run both a CC reader and the Payrange system, that is my understanding. When i first received mine I allowed them to sit around for quite awhile before installing them, DO NOT do that, jump right in! Finally once I began to install them I did not want to chance shutting my entire operation down so I installed the Payrange on the drink machine first, then monitored it for a week, once I verified that everything was fine then I followed up with the snack machine. Remember that the key is to grab some of the younger folk that are around and show them how it works. The best introduction tactic that I used at the sites was to load about $25 on my OWN account, test it myself so that I understand how it works, then show others how magical it is. Make sure to go onto the Payrange site and enable the promotion that allows the customers to get $1 or $1.50 in free merchandise for their first purchase, it will jump start your sales. Also if you are not charging additional money for using the Payrange system, which is fine because it is only about 4 cents per dollar, then let the people know that this is the best method that you have found in order to keep from raising prices on the items. I pose it as " I can absorb the transaction fee when using this device but if I install a CC reader it is going to automatically charge you an additional 10 percent more on all items ". This has worked well for me because people normally hate the mentioning of paying more for anything. Try it out and let us all know how this goes for you. GOOD LUCK!!!

Corvus Corax Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 I a have nothing but good things to say about the PayRange Blukey. Customers love it. FYI I have the Blukey Equal, it's $10 more than the base model at $89, but gives the option to add a CC reader. I just learned that PayRange teamed up with Mastercard, so anyone with a Masterpass account can use Payrange.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvus Corax Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 I have a location that did $20 in two days once I showed them the system. Hope it keeps up, and that was just a snack machine.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Corax Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Another thing I didn't count on. Telemetry, once you add Payrange it tracks all sales, cash included. Nice feature.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir SnackAlot Vending Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Yep, I noticed the telemetry information once I started to receive the weekly reports. I use the app 99% of the time but if use the desktop version it is an extremely powerful tool, there are all kinds of gadgets in there. I need to use it more myself.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk I use PayRange. I like the simplicity of Installation. One of my accounts doubled in volume after install. Other accounts, it is hardly used. In the right locations, (like a factory break room) it is a great device. I've had several people in the last couple of weeks that cannot connect with the machines. All of them are using LG phones and I have yet to see an update from PayRange to address this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Corax Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 I love it. I have some accounts, mainly break rooms that are all over it. Some it never gets touched. I still think it's worth it just for the telemetry. I am about to order 10 more.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieMac Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I was going to buy some Payrange devices last year, but I never could get ahold of anyone. Numerous emails went unanswered for weeks and weeks. I tried again last week and someone from Payrange called me this morning and said they have a distributor in my area who will contact me. I still haven't heard from anyone else. I'd love to try some, but it's so hard to buy these things!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Corax Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 I called payrange direct, I think I still have the contact on the invoice, I will post it when I get home.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvus Corax Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 D&S Vending sells them. Good call. D & S has the Blukey Equal for $79, $10 cheaper then PayRange direct. I just ordered 10. I think they must be doing away with the regular Blukey and will just have the Equal and the Plus. Makes sense, then they will just have one form factor.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
