It’s time to introduce to our followers some of the powerful technical assets featured by the Harvin legal weed vending machines. This new blog post is the first in a series of articles dedicated to explore the functionalities of our very much in-demand cannabis distributors, and we have decided to start this series of articles introducing one of the most powerful technical features, the card readers that allow access to the sale of legal cannabis, hemp and CBD based products from our cannabis vending machines.
Age Verification
First of all, since all weed vending machines can be operated only by users of legal age (which is 18 years in Europe), the first functionality of our card readers is that of validating the age of the client. The software we have developed for our card readers is state of the art, and recognizes and accepts all major valid and legal ID cards from all over Europe: personal IDs, driver’s licenses, residence permits, and health/sanitary cards.
Payment Options
Pretty much like all automatic cigarette distributors, only users of legal age will be allowed to purchase the products sold by our cannabis vending machines.
Then, of course, our automatic weed distributors can be optionally equipped with a credit card reader that recognizes and accepts all valid credit and debit cards, including prepaid credit cards and private credit cards of any technology, whether the card is equipped with a magnetic band, a digital chip, or with contactless technology.
Sure, all of our legal weed vending machines can accept cash payments too, but the possibility to be able to pay with a credit or debit card for the purchase of legal cannabis and CBD-based products is a great feature to avoid situations where the buyer doesn’t carry enough cash since the average price of legal cannabis and CBD products is generally medium-high, definitely higher than purchasing a packet of cigarettes.
Benefits for Shop Owners
From the shop owner’s point of view, our credit card readers deliver a further advantage. In many cases, automatic distributors with card readers need to be connected with a new, dedicated bank account, which can be a bit of a barrier for many shop owners. At Harvin, we understood the issue, so we fixed the problem by adopting software that allows connecting the credit card reader to an existing bank account.
Maintenance and Support
Another further advantage in choosing one of the many automatic weed distributors of the Harvin product line is that the software managing the card reader, as well as all other software managing other features of our machines, including the distributors’ touch screen display, doesn’t need much maintenance. It is upgraded by the Harvin technical team remotely on a regular basis, without the need of interrupting operations, so that the cannabis vending machines can operate continuously, expanding your business horizons for 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
