Transit challenge
Transit needs speed and all-hour access.
Passengers buy when they are rushed, waiting or transferring. Short decision windows need simple self-service right next to where people move.
Wendor transit layer
- Fast browsing and cashless checkout at the point of need.
- Travel-relevant products in visible, credible spots.
- Stock and service visibility for rush and off-peak hours.
Why Wendor fits transport hubs
Built for fast transit purchases.
Quick discovery, cashless payment and merchandising tuned for busy, moving crowds.
Fast product discovery
Passengers see what the machine sells, find the right product and pay without friction.
Cashless-only readiness
Digital checkout fits airports, metro systems and stations where speed matters.
- Tap-to-pay cards, wallets and QR codes passengers already use.
- Shorter queues at the machine.
Operator visibility
High-footfall sites need control over stock and service so machines stay ready in rush and off-peak hours.

Vending in Egypt
Running vending machines in Egypt
Egypt’s payments are moving quickly from cash to Meeza cards, InstaPay and mobile wallets. Operators register with the National Food Safety Authority, issue e-receipts to the Tax Authority and plan for currency swings in import costs.
How people pay in Egypt
Cash is still common, but cards, wallets and InstaPay are growing fast in Cairo and Alexandria.
- Meeza
- The national debit card scheme, including contactless.
- Mobile wallets
- Vodafone Cash and other operator wallets.
- InstaPay and Fawry
- Instant bank transfers and the Fawry payment network.
- Visa and Mastercard
- For offices, hotels and airports.
Licences and rules
- Company setup
- Register the company through GAFI and with the tax authority.
- Food safety
- The National Food Safety Authority (NFSA) regulates food handling, storage and labelling.
- VAT and e-receipts
- VAT is 14%, and retail sales are moving onto the Egyptian Tax Authority’s e-receipt system.
- Imports
- Machinery imports need customs clearance and importer registration.
Pricing and tax
Egyptian projects are budgeted in EGP, with the machine priced in a foreign currency and converted at order.
- Lock the exchange rate at order where possible; the pound has moved a lot in recent years.
- Landed cost includes freight, customs duty and 14% VAT.
- Pilot in Cairo offices or universities before scaling.
On the ground
- Power
- 220 V, 50 Hz with European plugs. Surge protection recommended.

FAQ
Vending machines for stations and airports: common questions
The strongest mix is water, ready-to-drink beverages, packaged snacks and compact travel essentials such as tissues, chargers and adapters. The plan depends on whether the site is commuter-heavy, long-dwell or premium.
