Looking for a Nayax VPOS Touch Alternative? VapeTM + Kiosoft = Better Rates
Kiosoft & VapeTM: The Smart Nayax VPOS Touch Alternative with No Surprises
Credit card processing in general is an unregulated business in the USA and has been a lucrative stream of income for tens of thousands of companies and individuals. As a result, it has become a competitive market and a race to the bottom. To be successful, companies must build large books of business or focus on high-volume accounts, since only a few pennies and basis points in margin remain to capture. What’s interesting, however, is the shift into automated retail and vending kiosks equipped with credit card readers and point-of-sale devices. The migration from cash to cashless payments has created new profit opportunities and cost-saving potential. Despite this, most operators have few alternatives to negotiate processing rates due to dominant players like Kiosoft, Nayax, and Cantaloupe offering flat-rate pricing, minimal transparency, and no revenue-sharing. VapeTM is changing the game. Through a partnership with Kiosoft, VapeTM offers operators access to true cost analysis and competitive pricing. Volume-based pricing and full technical support are also available.
Despite growth in the connected vending sector, many operators still struggle with device installation and troubleshooting. With so many makes and models of vending equipment, compatibility and firmware remain major pain points.
MDB ≠ Guaranteed Compatibility
The Multi Drop Bus (MDB) protocol connects vending machines and payment devices through a VMC (vending machine controller). However, just being MDB-capable doesn’t mean a machine will support cashless payment readers. Older machines often need firmware updates or hardware replacements to achieve compatibility.
Vendor-Specific Troubleshooting
Many manufacturers like Crane, Nayax, and Parlevel maintain machine compatibility lists and troubleshooting guides. For instance, some Crane National machines require users to manually enable card support. In other cases, outdated VMCs must be replaced to enable cashless communication.
Why VapeTM + Kiosoft = Operator Advantage
Unlike traditional players, VapeTM offers transparent pricing and easy onboarding. Machine-specific guidance is provided, and operators benefit from:
Firmware compatibility assessment
Diagnostic tools for installation and cellular signal testing
On-call technical support with fast response times
VapeTM’s approach eliminates the guesswork and empowers operators to expand their cashless footprint with confidence.
To ensure seamless credit card reader performance, technicians should:
Mount the cashless reader as the first device in the MDB chain
Use known good cables and test cards for diagnostics
Mount antennas externally for strong signal reception
Practice proper cable management to avoid disconnections
Additionally, VapeTM emphasizes that operators clear existing machine errors before installing any new devices to avoid data and signal conflicts.
VapeTM: Transparent Pricing for Automated Retail
With so many vending operators stuck paying inflated processing fees, VapeTM’s model brings a breath of fresh air to the industry. Their volume-based pricing options and revenue-friendly terms stand in contrast to the opaque, bundled rates offered by legacy providers.
Whether you're retrofitting a fleet of machines or launching a new kiosk program, VapeTM and Kiosoft give you the tools, support, and pricing leverage to grow.
