Is your laundromat still coin-operated? There’s nothing wrong with keeping things old school, but maybe you are considering upgrading your equipment for the modern day. One growing piece in the laundry business is laundry payment apps. One of these apps, which is Spin Techs’ app of choice, is Clear Token. Let’s explore Clear Token as a laundry payment app, and what it can do for your business.

What is a Laundry Payment App? Clear Token? 

A laundry payment app is an application for your smartphone that acts as a mobile wallet for your customers to pay for their laundry. This allows them to pay for the machines they are using online, connect their app to the machine they wish to use, and then do their laundry. 

Clear Token is a user-friendly laundry payment app that employs Bluetooth to enable direct payments from users’ phones. The app simplifies the payment process and sends text notifications to your customers when their laundry is almost done.  Though it does work well with laundry services, Clear Token is installable onto other devices, such as vending machines. This means you could automate multiple things in your business with Clear Token.

Customer Benefits with the Clear Token Laundry Payment App 

We understand that making a shift to a laundry payment app, like Clear Token, may sound drastic. We also understand your desire to put the customer first. Aside from being easy to use, why could upgrading to a Clear Token system be beneficial for your customers? 

Convenience vs Coins 

Although coin-operated laundry has its charm, shifting to Clear Token comes with a newfound convenience when paying for laundry. No more digging up quarters from the bottom of a bag, wallet, or car cup-holders; instead, customers can just pull up the app, pay, and do what they need to do. It is easier and more efficient for them. 

Notifications 

With the Clear Token app, customers can get notifications sent to them when their laundry is almost done. This means they can go run other errands while their laundry is in progress and return just in time to switch it over or get it home. 

This allows customers more freedom from a waiting area, prevents clothes from sitting and getting wrinkly, and can keep machines open for fellow patrons.



Management Benefits with the Clear Token Laundry Payment App 

Operating through the Clear Token app is great for laundromat owners and managers too! How can Clear Token make operations better for your business? 

Online Benefits 

Easy refunds. There are plenty of occasions and circumstances that lead to customers asking for refunds. With Clear Token, fulfilling refund requests is made easy, as that is handled online and can be done efficiently on management’s end through an online dashboard.

Track revenue. With the dashboard, as well, management can easily and quickly check their business’s revenue. That accessibility is a luxury and saves time from using machines’ coin banks and coin counters. 

Degree of separation. It should also be noted, too, that transactions made on Clear Token are between Clear Token and the customer, and then Clear Token pays you. Your business is not directly responsible for those transactions between the customer and Clear Token. You can take control of things and approve requests as needed, though Clear Token has you covered with that degree of separation just in case something goes wrong. 



Smooth Sailing 

Security. Laundry payment apps, such as Clear Token, are more secure than cash and coin vaults. You will be at decreased threat of theft or similar concerns. These are safe, secure systems for you and your customers. 

Promotion. Do you notice there are specific times or days that your laundromat is empty? With Clear Token, you can send your customers a temporary discount on their laundry at those times! This is a fantastic way to get people in the door and generate revenue. 

Fewer repairs. Clear Token systems are built to last and withstand tough conditions. There is almost no ongoing maintenance needed. Furthermore, Clear Token is so confident in their products that they offer a solid warranty based on the confidence, quality, and simplicity of their solutions. 

Competitive Pricing 

One concern we would understand for business owners when considering a laundry payment app is cost. How much is a unit? How much are service charges? 

Though some apps and systems are expensive, Clear Token is an affordable option. Their units and service charges are a fraction of many of their competitors. 

For example, one of Clear Token’s competitors charges a 3.9% service charge for each transaction, while Clear Token only charges 2.95%. Moreover, this same competitor costs between $149 and $299.00 for the hardware per machine it is installed on, whereas Clear Token only charges $125 per machine. It may not sound like much of a difference but consider the number of washer and dryer units you have—the cost difference can quickly accumulate and lead to significant savings for your business both initially and over time.
