Project fit

For vending and smart retail projects

Buyer signals

  • Screen and no-screen vending machines that need QR scan-to-pay.
  • Operators that want QuLink QR payment or their own payment callback.
  • Machines that need vend result, stock/status, fault, or session upload.
  • Retrofit projects where the existing cabinet should keep working.

What to send first

  • Machine photo or existing board photo
  • Interface or wiring note if available
  • Target action after API command or payment
  • Whether telemetry or data upload is required

Integration model

Payment confirmation becomes a vend action

QuLink maps a QR payment or server approval to a machine-side vend command, relay output, MDB action, or custom controller workflow.

Machine interface
MDB, relay, serial, cabinet controller, custom vending wiring
Trigger source
QuLink QR payment, wallet callback, app approval, or server command
Data returned
vend.result, payment reference, machine fault, telemetry, online status
Project mode
retrofit payment board, smart retail rollout, OEM vending controller

Workflow

From machine interface to API-controlled result.

Identify vending interface

Confirm MDB, cabinet controller, relay, serial, or custom board wiring.

Map payment to product

Define QR code, product slot, price rule, payment reference, and timeout behavior.

Trigger vend

QuLink sends the vend action after payment or server approval.

Upload result

Your server receives vend success, failure, status, and telemetry events.

API example

A clear server command or webhook for the machine-side action.

The exact command fields depend on machine interface, firmware profile, and whether payment or your own app triggers the action.

POST /v1/devices/VEND-208/commands
{
  "command": "dispense",
  "source": "qr_payment",
  "machine_action": {
    "interface": "vending",
    "slot": "B12"
  },
  "reference_id": "QR-ORDER-208"
}

Start the project

Send the first machine details before writing a full spec.

Send the vending machine model, current payment board photo, vend interface, target country, and whether QuLink QR payment or your own callback should be used.

Useful first message
  • Machine type and target country
  • Machine photo, board photo, or wiring photo
  • Action after API command or payment
  • Data upload and estimated quantity

FAQ

Questions buyers usually ask before a sample test.

Can this work without replacing the full vending machine?

Often yes. The first step is checking whether the machine can accept MDB, relay, serial, or cabinet-controller commands.

Can we use our own wallet or checkout?

Yes. Your checkout can approve payment and call the QuLink command API.

Can the board report vend results?

Yes. The project can include vend success, failure, online status, and fault upload.
