Cashless Payment Software for Pulse

Modern cashless payments on any pulse-supported machine. We do the heavy lifting.

Pulse by Paying.co turns pulse-protocol vending machines, amusement cabinets, laundry units and unattended equipment into modern cashless terminals. We talk pulse to the machine and connect directly to Datacap or Charge Anywhere on the payment side.

01 · What the software does

All the signaling details. None of the headache.

Pulse is beautifully simple until you connect modern cashless payments to it. Width, count, timing, debounce, signal integrity and machine-specific quirks all matter. Pulse by Paying.co handles those details inside the software.

01

Direct pulse control

Precision width, count, timing, debounce protection and signal integrity handled inside the software.

02

Direct processor integration

Native communication with Datacap and Charge Anywhere. No middleware layer between our software and the processor.

03

Modern payment methods

Contactless, chip, mobile wallets and QR translated into the pulse logic the existing machine already understands.

04

Self-healing transactions

Automatic retries, reversals, partial-vend recovery and signal validation keep the books clean when devices or networks misbehave.

Without Pulse by Paying.co

Replace the existing pulse-based fleet
Build separate processor integrations
Hand-tune pulse width and count per model
Debug timing and debounce yourself

02 · Operating modes

Four modes. Every pulse machine.

From simple single-price vending to time-based pay-as-you-go systems, the software handles the native pulse behavior required by the machine.

MODE 01

Single Price

One fixed payment per vend, with each pulse representing a set value.

MODE 02

Multi Pulse

Multiple mechanisms or devices on a shared controller, each controlled independently.

MODE 03

Multi Price

Variable product pricing with the transaction amount mapped automatically to pulse count.

MODE 04

Pay-As-You-Go

Usage-based and time-based systems such as car washes, games and amusement rides.

03 · Under the hood

Our software is the integration.

No middleware tax. No extra gateway hop. Pulse runs on the device, emits the machine signal, and connects directly to the chosen processor.

04 · Processor support

We talk directly to the processors that matter.

Use the processor already deployed across your fleet or split processors by deployment. The machine sees the same Pulse behavior either way.

DIRECT INTEGRATION

Datacap Systems

Native NETePay and dsiEMVUS integration for widely deployed unattended payment environments.

DIRECT INTEGRATION

Charge Anywhere

Native connection to Charge Anywhere payment gateway and unattended processing rails — without an extra middleware hop.

05 · Applications

Where the software does the work.

Anywhere a pulse-compliant device needs modern payment acceptance without replacing proven machine hardware.

VENDING

Vending machines

Snack, beverage and specialty machines using pulse-based dispensing mechanisms.

AMUSEMENT

Arcades & rides

Credit-based cabinets, games and amusement systems with single, multi-price or time-based operation.

LAUNDRY

Laundromats

Washers, dryers and coin-op equipment using pulse to activate the machine cycle.

CAR WASH

Pay-as-you-go systems

Time-based wash bays and usage-based equipment where the session length determines the charge.

KIOSK

Unattended services

Legacy controllers modernized with cashless acceptance and remote transaction logging.

OEM

Embedded equipment

Purpose-built machines that already use pulse signaling and need a modern payment layer.

06 · Pricing

One price. One year. Any processor.

No per-transaction middleware fee. License Pulse per device, choose Datacap or Charge Anywhere, and keep the same operating modes and software features.
