Worldline and Antenor have partnered to integrate a new contactless payment solution with Selfly Store's RFID-enabled vending machines.

Selfly Store’s intelligent vending machines, found in hotels, offices and other venues, offer a digital, autonomous solution for providing meals and snacks. Available in three models – Selfly Ambient for room-temperature items, Selfly Fridge for refrigerated goods and Selfly Freezer for frozen products – the machines cater to various storage needs.

The payment solution, developed by Antenor using Worldline’s full payment platform, includes unattended terminals, an omni-channel acceptance platform and an international acquiring solution. This set-up allows Selfly Store to deploy internationally with minimal effort and offers real-time reporting, improving transaction monitoring and revenue visibility.

The collaboration aims to make grab-and-go shopping more convenient while providing businesses with a cost-effective system to increase revenue. By leveraging data-driven insights on sales patterns, inventory management and pricing strategies, merchants can optimise operations and boost profitability.

For vending environments requiring a closed-loop payment system, the solution supports private cards linked to online wallets. Additionally, it features card tokenisation for loyalty programmes and blacklisting functionalities.

Olcay Guldogan, CTO of Selfly Store, said: “At Selfly Store, we set a target to make smart vending solutions accessible to everyone, regardless of their preferred payment method. Worldline's omnichannel payment platform, with its enriched features and wide coverage, combined with Antenor's excellent dedication and competence, has helped us make a significant step towards this target. We are pleased to collaborate with top professionals like Worldline and Antenor to bring innovative solutions for merchants and consumers.”

Eric Bohner, CEO of Antenor, commented: “Our mission at Antenor is to empower innovative companies like Selfly Store with the payment solutions they need to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Through our advanced payment solutions, we enable seamless transactions, elevate end-user experiences, and drive business efficiency for our clients. Worldline plays a pivotal role as an enabling partner in developing these groundbreaking solutions."

Nicolas Dejonghe, head of vending and adjacent markets at Worldline, added: “We are honoured to partner with Antenor and Selfly Store. Smart fridges are an excellent concept to help operators boost their sales and improve kiosk ROI. They require specific payment features, such as additional authorisation for larger consumer baskets, to secure operator revenues. Worldline’s acceptance and acquiring full solution are a perfect fit to secure these payments across Europe.”
