PayRange Provides Innovative Solutions
for the Unattended Retail and Convenience Services Industries, Including Mobile
Payment, VMS and Micromarket Solutions, Plus Age and Identity Verification
PayRange Inc., based in Portland, Oregon, is a
leading provider of mobile payment solutions for
the automated retail industry. Founded in 2013 by
Paresh Patel, a serial entrepreneur and veteran of the
automated retail industry, the company is known for its
innovative technology that makes payments simple and
accessible for everyone.
Vending operators can unlock increased revenues
by expanding payment options on their existing
machines while also adding convenience and loyalty
features for their customers. Installing a patented
BluKey device, the simple low-cost hardware that
plugs into a vending machine using MDB then connects
via Bluetooth to the free PayRange app a consumer
downloads, has been shown to dramatically increase
vending revenues. When integrated with the PayRange
vending management software that's designed for
efficiency and convenience, operators can transform
their vending business. For even more industry-leading
options, PayRange offers age and identify verification
solutions through their immi platform (pronounced " I'm
Me " ) to enable 21+ commerce. This allows operators
to expand into the responsible sale of age-restricted
products like alcohol and tobacco and is in use
throughout the US and Canada.
Beyond traditional vending, the company provides
solutions for a broad range of industries that are
characterized as primarily unattended or small-ticket
transactions. These include vended laundry where
PayRange is in use in more than 10% of the laundromats
in the US, plus multi-family locations like apartment
buildings, colleges and universities, and hotels.
Centralized payment kiosks known as the PayStation,
along with dedicated credit card readers named
BluCard are also available in the laundry industry.
PayRange recently announced an exclusive partnership
with Turns App for laundry wash dry fold services,
further expanding their services to this market.
PayRange also provides mobile payment solutions
for amusement games, car washes, campground and
RV site services, EV charging, billiards and more. These
often include industry-specific hardware offerings such
as a retrofit device for converting mechanically actuated
billiards tables to fully electronic mobile payment
acceptance. Industry specific app features are also
included such as providing the ability for employees in
attended laundromats to start machines through the
PayRange app without requiring payment.

The reliability, value, and focus on providing
innovative solutions that help machine owners better
serve their customers, combined with consumers' love
for the convenience and ease of use of the app have
fueled PayRange to be the fasting growing mobile
payments network in the United States.
With more than two dozen patents issued for
their innovations, the company continues to expand
their technology and services. PayRange is the North
American leader in mobile payments for unattended
retail, with over 6 million mobile app users, and
a network of over 500,000 deployed machines
