Nayax’s VPOS Touch card reader cost $399 each for one to four units on its US shop on October 3, 2026, plus a $9.99 monthly plan (Nayax1). Nayax does not show a processing percentage. The shop asks for the lowest and highest prices you plan to charge and calculates a rate from those.
Card readers compared sets these figures beside Cantaloupe and PayRange. This page covers Nayax alone.

From Nayax’s VPOS Touch page1 on October 3, 2026. The set includes the device, antenna, cable, and a QR sticker. The standard cable is 3 ft; Nayax offers a 9 ft cable for MDB or pulse installs at $15 extra.
The Vending Bundle2 is listed “From $447” and “As low as $427”. Its builder prices the MDB reader at $390, a Nayax test card at $2, and an EasiFit adapter, for taking bills alongside cards, at $35. The bundle page shows an activation fee of $20 per unit in the US. Nayax’s FAQ3 describes it as a one-time $20 fee on a new customer’s first order.
The reader carries a 12-month limited warranty, and the FAQ says “We do not accept any returns.” The shop offers interest-free financing through Nayax Capital at checkout (Nayax1).
Monthly plan and payouts
Nayax’s shop offers one package: “Cashless, Operations & Inventory: $9.99 per month” per device (Nayax1). Funds go to your bank account weekly, invoiced net of the monthly fee per machine (FAQ3).
Two resellers list $7.95 a month instead. Kleen-Rite adds that “In some cases, you can opt out of the monthly fee” if you do not need the advanced options (Kleen-Rite10).
Processing rates
Not published by Nayax. The checkout asks for your minimum and maximum item price and whether you sell CBD, then sets the rate (Nayax1). The only figures we found are from resellers:
- Kleen-Rite: 5.95% per transaction, recommended for sales of $5 and under, or 2.5% plus $0.10, recommended above $5 (Kleen-Rite10).
- D&S Vending: 5.95% per transaction (D&S9).
On Kleen-Rite’s figures the two options cost the same at a $2.90 sale. Above that, 2.5% plus $0.10 is cheaper: on a $4 item it is $0.20 against $0.24. Ask Nayax which option you are on and get the rate in writing.

We have not tested a Nova cooler or the VendGuys Haha model. Smart coolers compared lists the brands that do publish prices.
Card holds
Nayax calls the amount its readers authorize before a sale “Default Credit” (Nayax University8). It works in one of two modes:
- Virtual Credit, which Nayax calls the most common and the default on modern Nayax machines, reserves no money in the customer’s account.
- Bank Hold, typically on older third-party hardware, reserves the amount. Nayax says release is automatic but depends on the customer’s bank and “can take 1 to 5 business days”.
Default Credit is a ceiling, so a purchase above it is declined. Nayax says to set it to the most expensive item, or to the largest possible basket on machines that sell several items per session. It is set per machine. Nayax says smart fridges use an incremental system with no fixed Default Credit. Pre-authorization holds compares other platforms.
