Integrating campus cards with your vending machines, Smart Stores, and micro markets ensures you’re offering a convenient and widely-used payment option for students, helping you capture more sales from this tech-savvy demographic.
Students are more likely to make larger purchases and buy multiple items when using their campus cards, which often have preloaded funds, leading to higher average ticket sizes compared to traditional credit or debit card purchases.
By accepting campus cards, you can stock and sell essential high-margin items like school supplies, tech accessories, and snacks—giving students a convenient way to get what they need without leaving campus.
Vending machines and micro markets equipped with campus card readers can provide students access to snacks, beverages, and other essentials at any time, ensuring sales even after campus stores and dining halls are closed.
Accept campus cards in all self-serve formats.
