Designed from scratch by the team you'll work with.
No middleman. Need a custom feature, an unusual equipment integration, or a workflow
tweak? We built it - so we can change it.
Coin Pay works with the equipment you already have
One app, every revenue stream on your site, not a different system for each piece of hardware.
Self-serve bays
Customers pull up, pick a bay, and pay from their phone. No coins, no jammed bill validators, no trip to the changer.
Vacuums
Pay-per-minute or fixed-time, your choice. Promotions can grant free vacuum sessions for hitting spend thresholds in the bays.
Vending machines
Air fresheners, towels, drinks. Customers tap to dispense without rummaging for cash, and you get a record of every transaction.
Automatic tellers
Replace or supplement onsite tellers. Customers load value or buy washes through the app, then redeem at any station.
Fleet accounts
A fleet manager buys a balance and adds his drivers as users, who all draw from that one pot. He tops it up when it runs out, and gets a single record instead of a stack of receipts.
Pet washes
The same payment flow customers use for car bays handles pet wash stations - one account, one wallet, every service.
Every site you operate
Multi-site is built in. One customer, one account, accepted at all your location with unified reporting across the whole operation.
How operators actually use it
Coin Pay is more than a payment terminal - it's the relationship layer between you and your customers.
Free Vacuum Thursdays
Create a promotion: spend $5+ in any bay on Thursday, get an automatic free vacuum reward your customer can use that day. The system handles eligibility, redemption, and reporting.
Recover from equipment failures
Customer calls about a blown hose or coin jam? Start the bay remotely from your phone and the customer gets their wash, you avoid a refund, and the issue gets logged for service.
Stay top-of-mind
Send a push notification when it rains - "your car is going to be filthy tomorrow, want 50% off your next wash?" Customer-facing promotions that don't need a marketing agency.
One app, every revenue stream on your site
Coin Pay is much more than your average mobile payment system. It gives car wash owners a competitive advantage by interacting with and rewarding customers, all while collecting the kind of data that lets you grow without guessing.
We love technology and understand it can seem intimidating, so we kept the operator interface and the customer experience simple. Powerful underneath, friendly on top.

Common questions
What operators ask before rolling out Coin Pay.
What makes Coin Pay different from generic car wash payment apps?
Two things. First, Coin Pay is custom-branded for your location - your name, your logo, your colors. Not a generic shared app where you're one wash among thousands. Second, there's no middleman: we built the system from scratch, so we can change anything to fit your operation. Custom integration with unusual equipment? Yes. Specific reporting your bookkeeper wants? Yes.
Do I need to replace my bay timers or controllers?
In most cases no. Coin Pay integrates with the equipment you already have - self-serve bays, vacuums, vending machines, automatic tellers, pet wash stations. We've connected to a wide range of timers and controllers. Tell us what you have and we'll confirm.
Does it accept credit and debit cards?
Yes. Customers can pay with debit, credit, or stored value in the app. You skip the cost and maintenance of bay-mounted card readers entirely. Payment happens in the customer's phone, not on your equipment.
Can I run promotions and rewards?
Yes - that's one of Coin Pay's superpowers. Create rules like "spend $5+ on Thursdays, get a free vacuum" and the system handles eligibility, redemption, and reporting automatically. Combine with push notifications to tell customers about offers in real time.
What does "remote equipment activation" mean in practice?
A customer calls about a problem - blown hose, coin jam, you name it - and you can start the bay for them from your phone, wherever you are. The wash gets delivered, the customer is happy, and the issue is logged so you can dispatch service when convenient.
Is it iOS or Android?
Both. Every Coin Pay deployment gets a custom-branded Android app on Google Play and an iOS app on the Apple App Store. We handle the store submission process for you.
Does Coin Pay work with memberships?
Yes. Coin Pay pairs naturally with our Monthly Wash Club software for self-serve sites and our WashTrax platform for manned tunnels. Members can redeem their plan and pay for upgrades in the same app.
Your app. Your payment terminal. Working together.
Coming soon: WashEntry Flex, a cost-effective unattended car wash payment terminal built to work with Coin Pay. Bring touchscreen interaction, contactless payment, and receipt printing to the wash entrance, alongside your branded mobile app.
