The Cantaloupe ePort Engage Combo is being launched by the digital payments company as a solution for the autonomous retail market to support seamless transactions. The all-in-one card reader is equipped with a 2.5-inch digital touchscreen and can be installed overtop of existing bill acceptors on vending machines or other autonomous retail systems. Customers can pay with cash, a chip card, a mag stripe card, with a contactless card or a mobile wallet.
COO Ravi Venkatesan spoke further on the new Cantaloupe ePort Engage Combo saying, "We recently announced that we shipped more than 14,000 ePort Engage devices during our second fiscal quarter. The strong interest in our ePort Engage Series shows operators are benefiting from our next-generation solutions that enable them to optimise consumer engagement. Our Engage Combo enables us to expand upon the success of the ePort Engage Series and equip all machines with the ability to seamlessly accept most forms of payments, whether it is cash, debit, credit or mobile wallet through a…interactive device that is easy to install."
