We just made the first Google Wallet transaction on our AX-T1 vending machine payment device. The AX-T1 is a controller unit that was specially developed for the vending machine industry. It is a non-Pin payment terminal which supports all kind of card readers. In this case we used a Vivotech contactless kiosk II reader to process a Google Wallet payment card. The payment card in the Google Wallet is an emulated Mastercard Paypass card. Therefore the transaction was processed according to the rules and regulations of Mastercard. The transaction was executed in Switzerland using the ep2 payment protocol. The transmission is done through GSM/GPRS transmission which is supported by the AX-T1. The communication with the vending machine goes through the MDB protocol. The transactions can be authorized either on- or offline.

We think this is a cool way to pay for low value payments using a mobile phone. Our AX-T1 is installed in all kinds of vending machines like snack-machines, coffee-makers, softdrink- and cigarette-machines.
It is also used for toll-collection machines and parking garage pay stations. Just anywhere, where non-PIN transactions are accepted.
