## What is Pay4Vend?

Pay4Vend is an app designed to buy any product on a vending machine using your smartphone with no extra charge to the user.

Are you tired of fumbling in your pockets looking for coins every time you want to take a coffee on a vending machine? Have you ever given up a quick snack by lack of small change?
You already have the solution in your pocket! Use your smartphone and turns your coffee break into a smart break with Pay4Vend.

•	Operation is extremely simple: open the app, select the vending machine among those available from the smartphone and buy the product you desire. Coffee, drinks, snacks…Choose your favourite!

•	Pay4Vend uses a special credit for the purchases on the vending machine, which is stored inside the application. Make the top-up by inserting some coins or bills directly on the vending machine or by using PayPal, credit cards or Apple Pay (where active).

•	The credit transaction is fast and safe, the communication with the vending machine occurs in an encrypted way.

•	Registration requires just a few data and in a few second you’ll be allowed to Pay4Vend as a payment system. If you change your smartphone you can easily recover the credit you charged previously.

•	Communicate with the vending machine’s operator: send your requests and messages and you’ll receive some bonuses and discounts at the operator’s discretion.

The Pay4Vend application requires an active Bluetooth connection in order to communicate with the vending machine. Any credit present on your smartphone is not used by Pay4Vend.

### 1/5 — Débiter de 2x5 € et crédit jamais rechargé.

*2026-05-14*

J’ai un distributeur qui fonctionne avec cette app au travail. J’ai voulu recharger lappli  de 5€ et encore 5€ 2 semaine plus tard. J’ai été débiter mais mon crédit ne c’est jamais recharger. Clairement c’est du vol. Et aucune réponse sur l’application.

### 1/5 — Minimum top up of £5

*2026-04-24, version 22.5*

Will not let you top up custom amounts - only £5, £10 & £20. 

You will have money left over in your account for just wanting to buy 1 thing

*2026-03-15, version 22.3*

Awesome vending service.

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE

*2025-12-11, version 22.3*

Do not use this app. Low chance of succeeding, takes your money and you don’t get it back. All these reviews are fake as well do not believe them

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2025-12-09, version 22.3*

I have over £10 in my account and I can't log in after reinstalling the app. Very often the app does not want to connect to the machines.

### 1/5 — On peut pas recharger

*2025-07-14*

Il faut revoir la facon de recharger avec la carte ou apple pay…via l’appli
C est problematique!!!

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2025-06-03, version 21.4*

Topped up £5 (for a £2 snack) and the app didn’t even work. Nevermind the app being clunky and basic, half the buttons on the sidebar not working, empty activities etc. And to top it off it has sus reviews duplicated reviews that seem to all follow similar templates. I want my money back

### 4/5 — Sa fonctionne mais c’est pas idéal.

*2025-04-23*

L’application fonctionne bien mais j’aurais aimé avoir ApplePay intégré.

### 5/5 — Shoutout to Hayley And Libby

*2025-04-22, version 21.4*

They provided the best service🔥🔥🔥
