Payment And Control Terminal For Self‑Service Solutions
PayStation and PayStation Mini are payment and control terminals designed for self‑service locations and vending machines. In addition to the payment module, they also include an integrated control unit that can be easily connected to virtually any hardware.
The terminals enable dispensing devices to operate in a fully self‑service mode based on payment authorisation via card, chip, or QR code. They are designed for both indoor and outdoor use and meet high requirements for operational reliability and security.
A robust construction, certification by the Czech Metrology Institute, and compliance with ATEX regulations for installation in Zones 1 and 2 make the terminals suitable even for demanding operational environments.
Management, configuration, and monitoring of the devices are simplified through the Datapac SmartManager web portal, which provides clear reports and detailed information on transactions and users.
