What’s included with Pixelpay

Regardless of plan, you get the same arcade-first, QR-based infrastructure that’s being built to expand into vending, laundromats, and other venues.

Players scan a QR, pay in the browser, and your machines trigger just like a coin drop – with no tokens, cards, or extra hardware readers.

Operator dashboard

Adjust pricing, see live performance, and export reports from any browser – whether you’re on-site or remote.

Future-ready stack

The same devices and platform that run your arcade today are being built to support other machine-based venues as we expand.

Pricing FAQ

A few quick answers to the most common questions we hear from operators.

Is the $150 activation really one-time?

Yes. The $150 fee is per machine and covers activation & licensing for that device. Once a machine is activated, you only pay the monthly software plan you choose.

Do I have to change how my machines are programmed?

No major reprogramming is required for compatible coin-op machines. Pixelpay is built to sit alongside your existing coin mechanisms and trigger plays like a normal coin drop.

What about venues that aren’t arcades?

Pixelpay is focused on arcades first, but the hardware and software are being designed to support vending, laundromats, and other machine-based venues. If you’re interested in those use cases, let us know when you reach out.
