How the Scallix Closed-Loop Prepaid System Works.
A prepaid payment model designed for participating smart coolers, vending machines and unattended retail environments. Understand how prepaid balances, customer purchases and program management work together.
A Different Way to Fund and Manage Purchases.
Traditional card payments generally involve a new payment transaction whenever a customer makes a purchase. A closed-loop prepaid model works differently: funds are made available in advance and purchases are made against an existing prepaid balance.
The Scallix Prepaid Cards System is designed to support this approach across participating Scallix-enabled retail environments.
By separating the initial funding of a prepaid balance from subsequent purchases, the model creates an opportunity to reduce eligible transaction-level processing costs while supporting controlled purchasing programs.

Understanding the Scallix Prepaid Cards System.
Key information for operators evaluating a closed-loop prepaid payment solution.
What is a closed-loop prepaid payment system?
A closed-loop prepaid payment system allows users to make purchases using funds loaded in advance to a designated prepaid balance. Purchases are made within the participating program rather than initiating a new conventional card transaction for each eligible purchase.
How does the Scallix Prepaid Cards System work?
The model involves issuing a prepaid card, funding a balance in advance, using the card for purchases at participating Scallix-enabled locations and managing the program according to its configuration.

The Scallix Prepaid Cards System is designed for different business requirements, including local businesses and larger automated service providers. The appropriate program configuration should be evaluated for each operation.
