NFC Terminals for Cashless Payment via Credential in Solariums and More

Multiple Options for RFID Payment Systems

There are two possibilities of making a transaction with GANTNER cashless contactless NFC payment systems:

• Prepaid: Customers, guests or team members book a certain amount of money on the (membership) card in advance and can consume until the balance is used up. There is no debit from a bank account or credit card, it is paid with the credit on the data carrier.
• Postpaid: Within the facility, services are used or products are consumed, the information on the amount consumed is posted to an RFID wristband, chip or card. The customers, guests or team members still owe the amount. The transaction (payment) is made only at the end of the visit when leaving the facility. It can also be charged together with the monthly membership fees.

What do NFC and RFID actually mean?

NFC stands for Near Field Communication and is an international transmission standard for the contactless exchange of data. NFC is based on RFID technology (Radio Frequency Identification), which enables automatic, contactless identification of an object.

In everyday life, NFC technology is often used for contactless payment by debit or credit card at the supermarket checkout. Banks are increasingly equipping their cards with an NFC function. This means that it is generally no longer necessary to enter a pin to make a payment. The contactless payment process is much faster than entering a pin or using cash. Smartphone and app manufacturers as well as mobile communication providers also offer their customers the convenience of NFC payments. A smartphone app (e.g., Apple Pay on iPhones or Mobile Payment on Android devices) is linked to a credit card, which can then be used for contactless payments on the go.

An NFC payment can also be made independently of a bank or credit card. To do this, a user loads credit onto a chip, wristband, or card. The person can now use the mobile data carrier for contactless payment. Such a data carrier is also able to save information on what and how much was consumed. Booking is therefore simple and contactless. Customers make their payment either cashless via bank or credit card or in cash at the checkout.
