What unattended software needs from payments
Self-serve acceptance. Pay stations, kiosks, gate controllers and mobile apps all need to take payment without staff involvement.
Membership and recurring plans. Many car washes now rely on monthly plans. Billing needs to handle sign-ups, changes, failed payments and the customer who just wants to know why they were charged.
Fraud and chargeback awareness. Unattended environments face risks that attended businesses rarely see, from card testing to skimming devices. Tokenization, secure devices and monitoring help.
Reliable devices and clear support. When a terminal goes down, the business loses money. Good payments partners respond quickly and help you find the cause.
Flexibility as your platform grows. Unattended software teams should not be locked into a single hardware or processing path. Ask us how we approach this for your product.
How it works for an unattended platform
- 1 An operator signs up inside your software and completes onboarding without leaving your product.
- 2 We review and approve the business as part of linq.
- 3 Customers pay at the kiosk, gate, pay station or app, and members are billed automatically.
- 4 Funds settle to the operator, and your platform earns revenue from the payments it enables.
