Payment Devices Overview

Updated Today · 2 min read

Foto Master supports a range of payment devices for unattended, pay-per-use booth operation. By integrating a payment device, your booth can accept payments automatically and start a session only after a transaction is confirmed -- enabling fully autonomous operation in malls, entertainment centers, hotels, and other high-traffic locations.

Supported Payment Methods

Nayax (Most Popular)

Nayax is the most widely used payment integration for Foto Master booths. It supports credit cards, debit cards, mobile payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay), and contactless payments through a single compact device.

Cashless payments -- Credit/debit cards and mobile wallets
Telemetry -- Remote monitoring of transaction data
Cloud management -- Manage pricing and devices from the Nayax dashboard
Easy integration -- Connects to FMX via USB or serial

Intercard

Intercard is popular in family entertainment centers and arcade environments. It uses a proprietary card system where guests load credits onto a venue card and tap to pay.

Venue card system -- Works with the venue's existing Intercard infrastructure
Swipe or tap -- Card-based payment at the booth
Revenue sharing -- Integrates with venue revenue management

Embed Card

Similar to Intercard, Embed Card is used in entertainment and amusement venues. It provides a seamless payment experience within the venue's existing card ecosystem.

Venue integration -- Works with Embed's card system
Tap-to-play -- Quick, familiar guest experience
Centralized billing -- Revenue managed through Embed's platform

Coin Acceptor

For locations where cash payment is preferred, coin acceptors provide a simple, mechanical payment option.

Cash-based -- Guests insert coins to start a session
No transaction fees -- Unlike card payments, no processing fees
Simple maintenance -- Periodically empty the coin box
Best for: Lower price points, casual venues, international locations where cash is preferred

Choosing the Right Payment Device

Device	Payment Types	Best For	Transaction Fees
Nayax	Cards, mobile, contactless	Universal, most locations	Yes (card processing)
Intercard	Venue cards	Family entertainment centers	Venue-managed
Embed Card	Venue cards	Amusement/entertainment venues	Venue-managed
Coin Acceptor	Coins	Budget-friendly, cash-preferred	None

Tip: If you are placing booths in multiple types of locations, Nayax is the most versatile choice. It accepts the widest range of payment methods and works independently of venue-specific card systems.

Integration with FMX

Payment devices connect to FMX through the Global Settings payment configuration. Once connected, FMX handles the payment flow automatically:

Guest approaches the booth and sees a "Pay to Play" prompt
Guest taps their card, inserts coins, or pays via mobile
The payment device confirms the transaction
FMX starts the booth experience
The transaction is logged in the Cloud dashboard
