Crypto pay ..... Count up or down ?

[MEP001]

Thanks MEP, that was a big help...

Can't tell if that's sarcasm or not, you said you wanted to cancel the remaining time with the remote, a magnet on it would do that.

I can't imagine how you could convey that on a sign. I think it would just be confusing to the other 999,999 customers that it's not intended for. When I enabled grace time, I had signs made up stating

"For up to 20 seconds after time has expired, equipment will restart for 25¢."

I can't count the number of people that said that they put in another quarter (too late) and it didn't give them their 20 seconds. I just took the signs down and gave up on educating.

I was thinking something as simple as "Cash OR Card" but I have never heard it being an issue, just had people ask if they could mix, people who probably would have assumed they can't if I wasn't there to ask.

I've never and probably will never enable the grace feature. I walk the lot as often as I can when I'm there, and if I see someone run out of time and not quite done rinsing I restart the bay out of my pocket. Cheap customer goodwill IMO.

Yeah, it was sarcasm I've known about the magnet thing forever, just wish they could make the remote do it, since I almost always have it with me.

The new-to-me wash has the older Dixmor 2000 timers, and not only can you not clear the time remaining at all without opening the timer but you can't clear a partial startup inserted at all unless you finish it with cash and wait for it to run out. At least once a week I find a bay with some coins on it that I have to clear with more coins so I can wash down the bay.

Do any of you put your min and max charges on signage ??

 

[SLEDGE]

Mep001 , How do you set to add 50 cent increments ? Is that set in crypto pay configure or in dixmor 7 timer?

 

[MEP001]

I assume Cryptopay can do 50 cent increments, but I don't know that it can. I set up a Hamilton D.A.N. system that way, which allows you to set increments down to 5 cents.

This is why I use count up....

 

[JoshsWashes]

$3 minimum $12 max and as you can see I get a lot of re-swipes. I charge .01 per second.

 

[SLEDGE]

We switched to count up and it has made a difference.

 

[soapy]

Count up is the way to go. I do post minimum and max per swipe.

Count Up hands down..
