Cashless Payment Systems for Laundromats

Laundromats Are Going Cashless — Here’s What That Means for You

Laundromats are evolving fast. Customers no longer want to hunt for coins or carry cash – they want quick, modern payment options that work every time. Tap and Pay is becoming the new normal.

Cashless payment systems for laundromats meet that need, improving customer experience and giving owners more control over their business.

Two main technologies make this possible: kiosk-based card and app payments and QR code payments. Let’s break down how they work and why they matter.

Kiosk Payments: Tap, Swipe, or Scan

A kiosk is one of the most popular ways to bring cashless payments into a laundromat. Bubblepay’s 32” touchscreen kiosk lets customers pay with a tap, swipe, or mobile wallet like Google Pay or Apple Pay. 

There’s no need for special laundry cards or complex setups – just fast, familiar payment options customers already use everywhere else.

For laundromat owners, installing a cashless payment system is quick and simple. Bubblepay’s kiosk is plug-and-play, meaning you can be up and running fast without extensive retrofitting. 

The kiosk also acts as a central control hub, connecting with Bubblepay’s management system to give owners real-time revenue data, machine status updates, and remote control features. 

This level of visibility and control helps reduce admin time and simplifies day-to-day operations.

QR Code Payments For Laundromats: No App, No Hassle

QR code payments are another powerful option. Customers simply scan a code on the machine with their phone and pay instantly with no app download and have the option to check out as a guest or create a loyalty member account, and no extra hardware is  required. It’s as simple as point, scan, and start.

Many competitors require proprietary apps or device pairing, but Bubblepay’s QR solution keeps things frictionless and accessible to everyone, including customers who may not be comfortable downloading yet another app just to do laundry. 

This makes adoption quick and painless, even for first-time visitors.

Are Laundromat Cashless Payment Systems Reliable?

One of the biggest concerns for laundromat owners is reliability. What happens if the internet drops? With Bubblepay, you don’t need to worry.

The system has a 99.97% transaction success rate and, importantly, works even when the internet drops. Machines keep running, and customers keep washing, thanks to built-in offline functionality.

And if something ever does go wrong, Bubblepay’s 24/7 Australian-based support team is there to help. Live video troubleshooting ensures issues are resolved quickly, giving you peace of mind and keeping your business running smoothly.

Beyond Payments: More Benefits for Laundromat Owners

Switching to a cashless system isn’t just about convenience for customers, it’s about growing your business. Cashless systems reduce vandalism and theft, simplify refunds, and open up remarketing opportunities through customer loyalty features. Remote machine control lets you adjust pricing, monitor performance, and issue credits without even visiting the site.

In short, cashless payment systems for laundromats mean fewer headaches, more control, and happier customers.
