PTCharge per use with Mercado Pago QR
Your machines, lights and equipment switch on by themselves when customers pay, for the time they paid. No tokens, no staff and no need to replace what you have. The money goes straight to your Mercado Pago account.
By sector
Tap your sector to see how it works.
Self-service car washesBays, vacuums, carpet and air machines on QR.
- The customer scans the QR, pays and the bay or vacuum starts as if a token had been inserted.
- They choose how many minutes they want and pay only for that.
- Tokens keep working in the meantime.
- You see what each bay and vacuum earns.
Laundry in buildings and laundromatsNo more tokens from the building staff.
- Residents or customers pay with QR and the washer or dryer starts.
- The building or laundry operator gets paid straight into Mercado Pago.
- We alert you if a washer was paid for and did not start.
Padel, tennis and football courtsLights for the time paid.
- Players scan the QR at the court, pay for an hour of light and it switches on.
- It switches off by itself when the time is up, so it is never left on all night.
- Ideal for courts with no staff at night, small clubs and sports complexes.
- Coming later: lights that follow court bookings.
Hostels, cabins and campsitesAir conditioning, heating and showers per use.
- Air conditioning or heating by the hour in shared rooms.
- Hot showers and power outlets at campsites, paid by time.
- Guest washing machines without tokens.
Garages, marinas and shared spacesCharging and power outlets per use.
- Electric car or scooter charging paid by time (depending on the charger).
- Power outlets at moorings, fairs or for motorhomes.
- Each user pays for their own use; nothing to settle by hand.
Other equipmentIf it starts with a token or a switch, you can charge for it.
- Rehearsal rooms and studios: lights and air conditioning by the hour.
- Water vending and token-operated games.
- Tell us about your case and we will look into it.
Get paid without being there
No tokens, no staff
No selling or counting tokens and no one needed to collect. Nothing to lose or steal.
Money right away
Every payment lands in your Mercado Pago account instantly, with no cash box.
What each device earns
A dashboard with payments and usage for every machine, court or device, day by day.
Alerts when something fails
If someone paid and the equipment did not start, or a device went offline, we let you know.
How it works
Add a module
Your technician or electrician installs a Shelly module following our guide: next to the coin acceptor on token machines, or in the electrical panel for lights and air conditioning.
A QR on each device
Stick the device's QR code on it. Your customer scans it with Mercado Pago, picks the time and pays.
It runs for the time paid
The payment reaches the module, which switches the equipment on (or gives it the same signal as a token) and switches it off when time is up. Power metering confirms it started.
Before starting we check your machine or installation from a few photos and tell you if it is compatible.
USD 10 / ARS 15,000 per device per month
No contract and no percentage of what you collect.
- You buy the module once (a Shelly costs about USD 20 abroad, more in Argentina).
- Mercado Pago's fee on each payment is separate, as with any QR sale.
- At a self-service car wash, the fee is covered by less than 20 minutes of machine use per month.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to replace my machine or installation?
No. The module is added to what you already have. On token machines, tokens keep working.
Will it work in my case?
If the equipment starts with a token, a coin or a switch, almost certainly yes. Send us a few photos and we will confirm before you buy anything.
Who installs it?
Your own technician or electrician, with our step-by-step guide. We take care of the payment system and the dashboard.
What if the internet goes down?
Token machines keep working with tokens, and anything that was on switches off when the paid time ends. QR payments come back as soon as the connection does.
Is it available now?
We are setting up the first pilots in Argentina, using Mercado Pago. If you are elsewhere, leave your details and tell us how your customers pay.
