Learn what separates a Smart Store from a regular vending machine or a micro market.

Secure Transactions with Advanced Technology

Weighted shelf technology and cameras that monitor and tracks items with 99% accuracy ensure reliable transactions. This technology not only prevents theft but also ensures that your customers are charged accurately for their purchases.

Scalable Solutions for Every Business

Whether you operate a small kiosk or a large network of vending machines, the Smart Store is designed to scale. Models like the Smart Store 600 and 700 can connect up to four units to a single point-of-sale terminal, which allows them to support even the busiest of locations — residential buildings, warehouses, college campuses, car dealerships, airports, fitness clubs, senior living facilities, and more!

Enhanced Customer Interaction

The Smart Store can incorporate audio and visual prompts to guide users during their shopping journey. It also supports modern payment methods, including credit/debit cards, campus cards (for Seed users), and mobile wallets. With features like audio assistance for the visually impaired and interactive lighting that alerts if a product is misplaced, the Smart Store is both helpful and inclusive.

Real-Time Management and Reporting


Stay on top of your business with real-time inventory tracking, performance management, and machine health monitoring. The Smart Store integrates with our Seed and Cantaloupe Go software, meaning you can oversee your operations from anywhere, at any time. You’ll be able to see real-time sales performance and device health, or even track inventory and generate service schedules.

Minimizing Shrink with AI and Surveillance

The Smart Store series employs advanced AI for image recognition alongside its weighted shelf technology and built-in cameras. These features work together to accurately track items, detect suspicious activities, and significantly reduce losses due to theft. The system also stores video footage for up to 90 days, aiding in security and monitoring.

Smart Store door open to products like soda and snacks.
