How does your machine identify products?

Our vending machines use AI recognition to identify products as customers swipe/tap their card and open the door.

Why is pre-authorization required?

Pre-authorization is a temporary hold on your card to confirm you have sufficient funds. It ensures a smooth payment process and protects against unpaid orders. Unlike traditional stores, XMAI Smart Vending authorize entry first and charge after you select items. This hold:

Verifies your card is valid
Reserves the necessary funds (as per card network rules)
Follows industry standards for unattended food and beverage purchases (like gas stations)

How do pre-authorization refunds work?

Refunds are processed by the customer’s bank within 7 days. Delays depend on the bank.

How do operators handle payments and taxes?

Payment collection and tax reporting depend on each device owner’s business model and local regulations. Please consult our sales or finance team for specific guidance.

Where do your products ship from?

Currently, we have established self – operated warehouses at the core hubs on both the east and west coasts of the United States.
