Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Hayden, one of the founders of TapVend. The idea came from my dad's vending business — he'd been using PayRange for years and watched his cashless processing fees grow every time his machines performed well. The better his machines did, the more he paid. That felt backwards. We built TapVend to fix that. Flat monthly pricing, hardware you own, and a dashboard that actually gives you useful data. We're launching with support for traditional vending machines via MDB and micro market self-checkout. Happy to answer any questions about how it works or the hardware side of things — we designed our own custom ESP32-based MDB payment board from scratch. What questions do you have?
