Frequently Asked Questions
Here you'll find answers to everything you want to know about Vennex vending and self-service payment systems. If you can't find what you're looking for, get in touch with us.
General
Which devices can the Vennex system be used with?
It can be deployed on all self-service devices, including snack/beverage vending machines, car wash machines, turnstiles, massage chairs, arcade machines, karaoke systems and EV charging stations.
Do you provide service throughout Turkey?
Yes, we provide installation and technical support across Turkey. While our headquarters is in Ataşehir, İstanbul, our field teams can serve every province.
How many devices can you set up?
We serve projects of every size, from a single device to large-scale fleets. Installation capacity is planned according to your needs.
Setup
How long does setup take?
Installation time depends on the device: about 10 minutes on average for vending machines and 30-60 minutes for massage chairs and arcade machines. On car wash machines, terminal installation takes 2-3 hours. Our technical team manages the entire process on-site.
Do I need technical knowledge for the setup?
No. The Vennex technical team handles the installation, configuration, and testing on your behalf. All you need to do is start the first conversation.
Payment Methods
Which payment methods are supported?
Mastercard, VISA, and Troy debit and credit cards; İstanbulkart; Multinet, Metropol, Setcard, Ticket, Pluxee, and TokenFlex meal/transit cards; and contactless (NFC) payment are supported.
How is İstanbulkart integration handled?
İstanbulkart integration is carried out through the Vennex terminal and the required licensing. Our technical team manages the entire integration process, with no extra action needed from you.
EV Charging Stations
Is a POS device mandatory at charging stations?
Yes. Under the Turkish Charging Service Regulation, DC charging units must offer a card or contactless payment option. For DC units of 50 kW and above on motorways the obligation took effect on 1 July 2026; already-installed stations have until 30 June 2027 to comply.
How is payment taken by card when the charging amount is not known upfront?
With a pre-authorisation. When the driver taps the card, the terminal places a hold for an estimated maximum amount; when the session ends, the actual amount is captured based on the kWh consumed and the rest of the hold is released.
Can İstanbulkart or meal cards be used at a charging station?
No. Meal and transit cards do not support pre-authorised payments, so they cannot be used at charging stations. Charging supports Mastercard, VISA and Troy debit and credit cards. Meal and transit cards remain supported in our vending and turnstile solutions.
Do I need to replace my existing charging unit?
Usually not. The payment terminal works with your unit's management software over the OCPP protocol; OCPP 1.6-J or 2.0.1 support is sufficient. Units from different brands can be consolidated under one payment infrastructure.
Pricing & Support
Is there a monthly subscription or per-transaction commission?
Vennex offers two payment models: (a) a fixed monthly subscription plus a one-time setup fee; (b) a per-transaction commission model (free setup, revenue sharing). Which model is right for you is determined by your number of devices, monthly transaction volume, and industry. Get in touch for a detailed quote.
How do I get technical support?
We have a 24/7 phone and email support line. In urgent cases, our technical team provides on-site assistance. Support: +90 507 891 12 10 — info@vennex.com.tr
How do I access the management panel?
You can access the Vennex management panel via a web browser and from a mobile device. You can run reports through the panel to track sales, revenue, and device status in real time.
Security
Is the Vennex system secure?
Yes. Vennex terminals are PCI-DSS Level 1 certified. All transactions are protected with AES-256 encryption. Customer card data is not stored on Vennex infrastructure.
