Unattended & Self-Service Payment Terminals for Any Machine

Turn any self-service machine into a 24/7 cashless point of sale. We design the chassis, integrate the payment terminal, and connect it to your system — so your customers pay by card, phone or cash without a single employee on site.

  • EU fiscalization
  • Live dashboard

An unattended payment terminal lets a machine take payments on its own — no cashier, no staff, no cash drawer to empty at the end of the day. await8 builds these self-service payment terminals end to end: we manufacture the weather-resistant chassis, integrate a certified payment terminal from Worldline, Nayax or Monri (others on request), and connect the whole thing to your existing system and a real-time dashboard.

The result is a self-service payment solution you can drop onto a car wash, a parking lot, a ticket gate, or any machine that should sell around the clock. Customers tap a card or phone — or pay cash — and walk away in seconds. You see every transaction, every machine, and every euro on one screen.

Because each deployment is project-based, the terminal fits your hardware and your software, not the other way around. One partner handles the enclosure, the payment integration, the fiscalization and the software.

Why operators switch to self-service payment

Fewer employees on site

The machine sells by itself, 24/7 — no cashier, no attendant, no staffing the quiet hours.

Lower overhead, less cash to handle

No daily cash counting, fewer bank runs, less shrinkage and reconciliation. Card and mobile payments land straight in your account.

Faster purchases, shorter queues

Tap-to-pay checkout takes seconds, so customers don't wait and you serve more of them per hour.

Every payment method accepted

Card (EMV chip and contactless), Apple Pay and Google Pay, cash (coins and notes), Euro key and QR.

Custom-integrated with your system

We wire the terminal into your machine's controller and your back office — not a generic black box you have to work around.

One dashboard for everything

Monitor every machine, watch sales in real time, pull analytics and reports, and catch a fault before a customer does.

All payment methods, one terminal

Your customers pay however they want — contactless card, chip, mobile wallet, cash, Euro key or QR. The payment core comes from certified terminals by Worldline, Nayax and Monri; await8 builds the chassis around it and integrates it into your machine, so you get bank-grade card acceptance without re-engineering your hardware.

Weatherproof hardware, built to live outdoors

We manufacture the chassis in-house: weather-resistant, built for 24/7 outdoor operation, with a high-brightness display that stays readable in direct sunlight. Because we make the enclosure and do the integration, the terminal physically and electrically fits your machine — not a compromise bolted on after the fact.

Custom integration + a dashboard that runs the operation

Integrates with your machine

MDB, ccTalk, relays, serial or REST — we adapt to your controller instead of forcing you onto ours.

REST API + webhooks

Start a payment with one request and get card-presented, approved, declined or cancelled events back in real time.

Remote management

Configure, monitor, diagnose and update terminals over the air, without a site visit.

Live dashboard

Machine status, sales and revenue analytics, per-service and per-location breakdowns, plus B2B partner billing and exports.

How the payment controller works

EU compliance & fiscalization built in

Croatian fiscalization for unattended machines is handled out of the box, with the architecture to extend to other EU fiscal regimes as you grow into new markets.

Croatian fiscalization

Why await8

One partner, full stack

We make the chassis and write the software — no finger-pointing between separate hardware and software vendors.

EU-based R&D

A multilingual team with support in Croatian, English and German, close to your market.

Developer-friendly

A clean REST API instead of a low-level terminal protocol you'd otherwise implement yourself.

Project-based and fully custom

Built around your machine, your brand and your system — not an off-the-shelf box.

Worldline, Nayax and Monri as standard, with other providers available by custom order.

What payment methods are supported?

EMV chip and contactless cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, cash (coins and notes), Euro key and QR codes.

Do you make the hardware or just the software?
