Registration is free of charge.

Whilst vending at a venue or event you will require a license for each terminal or screen you wish to use. Some venues and events will provide a license code which you can input to your unique vendor Cashless Guru portal and no charge will be payable.

No, our service is entirely web based and no app is required. We have found that visitors do not wish to install applications as they already have a web browser perfectly capable of accessing our services. An app will however be introduced in future for those who prefer an app based experience.

Product Management

Our products management section contains two primary elements – products, and product categories.

Product Categories are used to group products of a similar type together, they are also used to control what products are available from which service – for example, you could have different categories available for table service than you do for counter service.

A product category enables you to group products together.

Product categories can also be used to control what is shown to your visitors – for example, you may wish to only offer hot food to those ordering for Table Service.
