VMFS Payment System – MDB Compatible Card Reader Integration

VMFS vending machines are MDB protocol-ready, meaning you can integrate almost any modern card reader — from swipe and chip readers to contactless and mobile NFC systems — in minutes. No rewiring. No reprogramming. Just plug in and start accepting payments.

What Is MDB Protocol & Why It’s Important

MDB (Multi-Drop Bus) is the industry-standard protocol used in vending systems to ensure smooth communication between machines and peripheral devices. Every VMFS vending machine comes standard with an MDB-compatible port, giving you complete flexibility in payment options.

Devices You Can Connect:

  • Credit and debit card readers

  • Contactless systems like tap-to-pay

  • Mobile wallet readers

  • Coin and bill acceptors

  • Cashless payment kits

Why MDB Compatibility Matters:

  • It’s a universal standard across vending hardware

  • Setup is plug-and-play — no coding or special tools

  • No firmware changes or extra configuration

  • Works out of the box with most payment devices

How to Install a Card Reader on a VMFS Machine

Step 1

Locate the MDB port inside your machine’s control panel.

Step 2

Plug in your MDB-compatible card reader using the provided connector.

Step 3

Power on the machine — it will automatically detect the reader.

Step 4

Start accepting payments via swipe, chip, tap, or mobile wallets.
