PORTLAND, OR (February 2, 2016) – PayRange Inc., maker of the world’s simplest mobile payment solution for machines, announces that it has signed up its 1000th operator. The company has operators throughout all 50 United States as well across Canada and is adding new operators every week. PayRange enabled machines can be founded on vending machines as well as amusement games.
“We’re excited that operators are recognizing the vending and amusement consumers are changing rapidly and that they find the PayRange platform is a solution to their needs,” says Paresh Patel, founder and CEO. “The millennial generation doesn’t like to carry cash or coin and this generation is the one most likely to use the machines if it wasn’t for the payment barrier to completing the purchase.”
The PayRange solution allows cashless payment without requiring any network connection on the machine. Machine operators install in seconds the PayRange Blukey, an inexpensive Bluetooth Low Energy device, to enable their machine for mobile payments. Consumers then use the free PayRange app to make purchases from the machine.
The patented system provides operators a new way to process payment at both new and old machines alike, bringing the previously decades-long cash-dependent payment system into the mobile payment age. Mobile payments reduce dependency on cash and coin, give consumers a convenient payment option, and have been shown to increase overall machine sales.
