Coins create friction at every level.
Machines jam. Coin mechanisms fail. Vandalism happens. Staff waste hours collecting, counting and banking cash. Revenue sits trapped inside metal boxes instead of landing instantly in your account. There are several problems coin-only laundromats can cause:
1. Customers don’t carry coins anymore: Most people expect contactless payments. If they can’t tap or scan, they may walk away, or spend less than they intended.
2. Coin systems restrict your pricing: You’re locked into whole-dollar increments, limiting flexibility. Cashless payments allow precise pricing, helping increase average spend per customer.
3. Breakdowns cost you twice: Customers only discover a fault after loading their washing, leading to frustration and refunds. Removing coin hardware reduces maintenance issues and cuts labour time dramatically.
Globally, laundromat payment systems have already proven this shift works. The only real risk now is being the last coin-only store in your area.
Many systems offer card readers. Bubblepay delivers a complete platform.
Bubblepay is an Australian-built cashless laundry system designed specifically for laundromat owners who want control, visibility and growth – not just payment processing.
At the centre is the Bubblepay kiosk. It accepts tap-to-pay cards, digital wallets and QR payments, with optional cash support if you choose to keep it. If the internet drops out, the system continues operating. No lost revenue. No frustrated customers.
Customers can clearly see machine availability and pricing before they start. They scan, tap and go. Fast. Simple. Intuitive.
This isn’t a bolt-on payment terminal. It’s a smart cashless laundromat system built to modernise your entire operation.
Turning Existing Machines Into Smart Assets
Most owners worry that upgrading means replacing every machine. It doesn’t.
Bubblepay's MIC (Machine Interface Controller) uses a plug-and-play connection directly to your existing washers and dryers. In simple terms, it turns them into connected, intelligent machines
Once installed, you gain real-time visibility and control. You can adjust pricing instantly. Monitor machine performance. Track usage patterns. View revenue down to the hour.
Coin systems lock you into fixed pricing and zero data. Bubblepay gives you dynamic pricing and clear insights so you can optimise profitability.
There’s also built-in risk reduction. Secure transactions. Reliable hardware. Hazard detection features. You move from reactive problem-solving to proactive management.
Set it up once. Monitor from anywhere.
Customers today expect convenience. If they can order food, book travel and pay bills from their phone, they expect the same from laundry.
With Bubblepay, customers can scan a QR code and start instantly with no app required. For those who choose to use the app, they can save cards, check machine availability in real time and access loyalty rewards.
The result is a faster, clearer and more modern laundromat experience.
For owners, the control sits in your pocket. Through the owner dashboard and app, you can monitor machines remotely, track revenue in real time, adjust pricing and credit customers without being onsite.
Traditional laundry card systems offer limited reporting. Bubblepay delivers full operational clarity without overwhelming dashboards or complicated setup.
Operate smarter. Earn more. Work less.
Payments Alone Don’t Grow Revenue – Marketing Does
Most cashless laundry technology stops at payments. But processing transactions doesn’t build loyalty. Laundromats using integrated loyalty systems typically see higher repeat visits and increased customer lifetime value.
Bubblepay includes built-in marketing tools designed to increase repeat visits and average spend. You can run automated discounts, reward frequent users and send customer reminders without manual effort.
Instead of hoping customers return, you actively encourage it.
Owners using smart laundromat systems consistently see stronger retention and measurable revenue growth when loyalty tools are built into the platform.
With Bubblepay, growth isn’t an add-on. It’s part of the system.
Growth on autopilot.
There are other cashless laundry systems on the market. Most focus purely on payments.
Bubblepay is different because it combines hardware, software, analytics and marketing into one integrated platform. The kiosk, MIC controllers, apps and reporting tools all work together seamlessly.
It operates offline. It supports contactless laundry payments. It delivers real-time insights. And it’s backed by local Australian support with 24/7 AI-powered assistance.
You’re not just installing a payment device. You’re modernising your entire laundromat payment system.
Less admin. More revenue. Better customer experience.
