Setomatic Systems, a leader in laundry payment technology, has launched its new Wash Dry Fold POS System. It's an integrated platform that combines payment processing with wash-and-fold management. Choosing the right payment systems for laundromats is increasingly urgent as cashless consumer habits reshape how people pay for everyday services. Wash Dry Fold POS accepts contactless credit card payments directly at washers and dryers and integrates wash-and-fold management into a single system.
BOCA RATON, Fla., July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As more customers leave their wallets and their quarters at home, determining which payment systems are best for laundromats has become a pressing operational challenge for laundromat owners nationwide. It prompted Setomatic Systems, a leader in laundry payment technology with over 50 years in the industry, to launch its new Wash Dry Fold POS System. The integrated platform accepts cashless payments directly at washers and dryers while managing wash-and-fold operations—capturing customers that coin-only machines cannot serve.
What Features Should Laundromat Owners Look for in a Payment System?
The strongest laundromat payment technology combines flexible acceptance, hardware reliability and remote management in a single platform. The SpyderWash platform delivers all three across each washer and dryer make and model, regardless of equipment age. Card readers are EMV-certified for chip cards, meeting the security standards required by all major credit card networks.
A modern laundromat payment system offers payment flexibility and real-time control. SpyderWash accepts every payment method customers actually use:
- Credit and debit cards: Via magnetic stripe or contactless credit card (tap and go)
- NFC mobile payments: Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay, accepted directly at the washer or dryer
- Loyalty cards: With no app download or separate registration required
- Coin payments: The system maintains coin acceptance alongside all digital options
Proprietors manage and monitor activity through the SpyderWash portal, accessible from anywhere in the world, while real-time reporting tracks coin, credit and loyalty card data. Research from Setomatic Systems indicates that only 44.1% of laundromats currently accept card payments, leaving most operators at risk of losing card-using customers and the revenue they represent.
Loyalty card holders also build up float, a running balance they can reload online through the portal or at a kiosk connected to the washer or dryer.
