Cryptopay one-time use cards

Yes. They process as fast as a credit card (3-5 seconds) I use them when I need to send a free wash. They are bit expensive, and it seems like a big waste of plastic, but it is really my only choice for issuing a free wash.
Thanks for the reply. I have a $15 maximum on the cards, does the free wash run it all the way to $15 and stop?
I only have swipers on my autos and my changers. The changer is set to $10. So one swipe is $10 for 10 tokens. But I would assume it would issue the full time credit value of $15 In a ss bay. It would also work on vacs for one cycle, if you have that. Just shoot cryptopay support an email to verify with your set up.

So, one time use are count don even if swipers are set to count up?
No. They are count up on my property. They will run on bays or vacuums until the programmed time limit or the customer stops them. On the automatic they will work on any car wash. I don't use many of them, mainly for promotional/gift purposes. If a customer has a credit card I just prefer to refund via virtual terminal.

We use them sparingly. They are greatly appreciated when we give them out. Brings a big smile and probably solidifies the customer relationship. Cannot wait h til the QR version is available as we replaced our swipers in one location to the Tap Plus. The $1per card cost is part of the marketing budget.

So, if it is a $15 card and first time customer only uses $5 count up they can use the remaining $ another time?
No, it's good for one time only, up to the shut off time programmed in your timers.

I have used them to issue a free wash in the event i cannot meet up with the customer to make things right...although this is very sparingly as most of the time they call and i remote start the equipment in another bay and the problem is rectified immediately.
The more common thing i use them for is marketing or when first launching credit cards on site i would hand them out to 10 customers a day for 30 days. This gets them used to how to use the credit card equipment without them having to use their card. Once they see how much easier it is to swipe than fumbling with coins they will use their card in the future. Both my sites usually run 78 to 82% on CC usage vs cash.

So I can't see selling them as an option because if you had some vending machine that sold them for $15 or even at a discount and the customer only used half what they paid they would be ticked off.
