Scallix Prepaid Cards System.
Optimize Payment Costs at Scale.
A smarter closed-loop prepaid payment solution for large-scale vending, micro market and unattended retail operations. Help reduce transaction-level credit card processing costs while bringing greater control to customer spending.
Payment Costs Matter More as Your Network Grows.
Every transaction contributes to the economics of an unattended retail operation. Across a network of smart coolers, vending machines and micro markets, transaction-level processing costs can become a recurring operating expense.
The Scallix Prepaid Cards System introduces a closed-loop payment model: funds are added to a prepaid balance before purchases are made. When customers use that existing balance at participating Scallix-enabled locations, a new credit card transaction is not required at every purchase.
For operators, this creates an opportunity to reduce eligible transaction-level processing costs while managing access and spending across participating locations.
