Looking into a new paystation for a Razor that will be installed soon. What pay stations have others used? We currently have an old Portal TI.

I'm going to be ripping out 2 20yr old Ryko AmttCs pay stations and replacing them with Unitec Portal Ti's, I looked at Dencar's but they don't integrate with WashCard and the rest of my site has WashCard equipment installed and I'm not replacing all of that as well.

I'm installing a new Razor and re-using my 15 year old Hamilton Gold Line. it has been a great machine and relatively trouble free over the last 15 years. I am upgrading the credit card acceptance to crypto pay, adding new buttons and a face plate that comes with the crypto pay conversion kit. I'm going to clean the stainless steel and put a new vinyl wrap on the outside.

We did the same thing works good

I have a 12 year old Portal TI. It has been great, dependable and has a lot of options to use. My only issue is it won’t pass PCI Compliance anymore. DRB says since it’s an old obsolete system they can’t make changes to get it to pass. This is the only reason we are thinking of replacing it. I wish it could use Cryptopay but that’s not an option.

Were you able to integrate a loyalty system? I think a barcode reader would be needed? I’m interesting in updating my Gold Line for a new 3-4 option Razor with a buy up. However I want to use some sort of loyalty program (not a monthly pass at this time).

You can do all of that with a Portal Ti. For the Gold Line, you would have to install some hardware like Coinless or Touch4Wash in order to do any sort of loyalty program.

We have a Portal TI and upgrading it to a Portal TI + when the Razor gets installed. I kind of did a loyalty program for about a year now by giving a code and setting it up to be when they bought 4 washes the 5th was free. Didn’t promote it a lot but will start it up again when the new systems are up and running. Portal is nice, don’t need additional hardware.

Id imagine sticking with the same vendor would be more cost effective, right?

Yes in the case with the Portal TI, the functionality is already in the software. No extra cost or monthly fees to use it.

To upgrade, I assume you have to change out the whole pay station?

I talked to a sales person in regards to upgrading our existing Portal TI to a Portal TI+ Vs buying a new one and the cost difference wasn’t enough to do an upgrade. It made more sense to do an entire replacement.
