To ensure fast and accurate assistance, support requests must follow a structured process. Clear communication reduces downtime. Incomplete requests delay resolution.
Before Contacting Support
Please verify the following before submitting a request:
- Machine is powered on
- Electrical outlet is functional
- Payment device is connected
- WiFi or cellular signal is active
- Machine door is fully closed
- No trays are overloaded
- Error code is documented, if displayed
Many issues are resolved by simple checks.
Required Information for All Support Requests
When contacting support, include:
- Machine model
- Serial number
- Order number, if available
- Location, city/state or country
- Clear photos
- Short video for mechanical issues
- Exact error code, if displayed
- Description of the issue
- Date issue started
Without this information, support may request clarification before proceeding.
How to Submit a Request
Support requests must be submitted through official channels:
- Official support email
- Customer Portal, if registered
Support contact details are listed on the Support Page. Submitting requests through social media or personal contacts may delay processing. Always use official channels.
Business Hours
Support operates during standard business hours unless otherwise specified in your agreement. Requests received outside business hours are addressed on the next business day. Enterprise clients with contracted priority support may have separate response terms.
Issue Priority Structure
High Priority
- Machine fully offline
- Payment system failure
- Cooling failure
- Compliance-related malfunction
Standard Priority
- Intermittent vend failure
- Cosmetic concerns
- Minor configuration questions
Priority is determined by operational impact.
Replacement Parts Requests
If requesting parts, include:
- Clear image of the faulty component
- Confirmation of troubleshooting steps
- Shipping address
- Warranty status, if known
Parts are not shipped without issue verification.
Escalation Process
If your issue has not been resolved:
- Reference your original ticket number
- Reply within the same email thread
- Avoid opening duplicate tickets
Duplicate tickets slow resolution. Structured communication improves speed.
International Support Requests
International clients should include:
- Voltage configuration
- Local technician availability
- Customs considerations if requesting parts
International shipping times may vary.
What Not to Include
To ensure clarity, avoid:
- Multiple unrelated issues in one ticket
- Incomplete descriptions
- Emotional or vague statements
- Third-party processor disputes, contact your processor directly
Support responds to clear, actionable details.
Emergency Situations
If a machine poses a safety risk:
- Power off immediately
- Do not attempt advanced repair
- Contact support with full details
Safety takes priority over operation.
Communication Expectations
Support aims to:
- Acknowledge receipt
- Review documentation
- Provide troubleshooting guidance
- Identify replacement parts if needed
Response time varies by complexity and volume. Support is structured, not instantaneous.
Final Thought
The fastest way to resolve an issue is clear information, accurate documentation, a single communication thread, and prompt response to troubleshooting steps.
Structured communication protects uptime. Uptime protects revenue.
