Cokedealer Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) I have a Dixie Narco 501E Going into an apartment building in the next couple of weeks. The apartment houses roughly 104 tenants. All young adults. My Dixie Narco in its current state only accepts change... AKA very rudimentary but the machine is in good condition. Given there are 104 tenants in the locations its going in, would you, in your professional opinion, attach a bill acceptor? a CC reader? Leave it the way it is? Obviously Id like to attach everything, but I cant justify the price of a Nayax reader If I'm unsure of how many vends it'll make on average. A Nayax reader here in Canada will cost me nearly 700 upfront plus 10 bucks a month plus the vend fee, although I did find one used on marketplace for 150.. doubt that a good idea to buy though. Anyone in a similar position? Edited March 28 by Cokedealer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvending Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Since it is now coin only I would suggest adding a CC reader. That way you willalso be able to add some higher priced items such as Monster or C4. Plus you will be able to track your sales by item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone in a similar position? I would make it CC reader only but coin and CC reader is good as well. Most importantly youre getting ripped off if you are paying 700$ for that reader. Also, in Canada the Canteloupe readers perform better and the customer service is way way better. A new unit on a new account is 400$ give or take. fees are 9-10$ a month. Don't buy a used reader. Invest in a new one. Do not put a bill acceptor in an apartment complex... your begging for a break in. Also but not least, buy a quality hasp and lock for said hasp.

Does anyone know if card readers need to be put onto a 3G/4G network? Can they just run off local wifi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fermo Vending Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 +1 for a credit card reader, especially considering they allow you to live track sales & inventory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AZVendor Posted March 28 Popular Post Share Posted March 28 (edited) Be prepared for vandalism to your machine. All apartment complexes come with that option enabled. Edited March 28 by AZVendor 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacanteen Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Since you are in Canada with large denomination coins, a card reader would be prudent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
