SECANDA Pay

One identity. Any credential.
Zero transaction fees.

Cashless payments for dining, vending, printing and points of sale, all from a single account.

Flexible payment models

Users pay with their credential: you choose the financial model behind each transaction

RFID card

Contactless payment at registers, vending machines and service points: just present your card.

SECANDA App

QR code payments from the mobile app. Balance, history, top-ups: everyone manages their own account.

Whichever credential is used, you decide how transactions are funded

1

Top up in advance

Users or parents fund the account by credit card, bank transfer, cash or the online portal, and keep full control over spending.

2

Direct payment

Each transaction is debited immediately from the linked payment method or an internal billing account.

3

Payroll deduction

Allow a configurable negative balance, then apply payroll deduction automatically or export the statement to HR and accounting at the end of the period.

One account, every use case

SECANDA Pay goes beyond points of sale and meal plans. The same account also covers printing, copying, scanning and document services.

No separate print accounts. No parallel balances.

Lockers, paid access, equipment rental... the same account also covers all your other use cases through SECANDA Connect integrations. Discover SECANDA Connect

Price levels

Assign a price level to each user profile and SECANDA Pay automatically applies the right rate to every transaction.

  • The price level is tied to the credential

QR payments: no hardware required

A simple printed sticker is all you need. No screen, no terminal, no power supply: just a static QR code that users scan with the SECANDA App to pay instantly.

Print it. Stick it. Get paid.

A QR sticker on a counter, a vending machine, a wall or a receipt: that's a new payment point, up and running in minutes at next to no cost.

Each QR code is encrypted and tied to an identity. Only codes generated by the SECANDA App are recognized: copied or forged codes are automatically rejected.

Digital receipts in the SECANDA App

Every transaction generates a digital receipt: item purchased, place and time, amount, voucher or balance used, top-up or payroll deduction status. Less paper, fewer disputes, more transparency.

Frequently asked questions about SECANDA Pay

Answers to the most common questions about cashless payments.

With a single account, where can users pay?

The SECANDA Pay balance is a closed-loop account, valid across all your service points:

  • Catering and points of sale, with the Micanda POS register
  • Vending machines (RFID, bank card or QR code)
  • Printing, copying and scanning (PaperCut, uniFLOW)
  • Payment terminals and account top-up
  • Lockers, paid access, equipment rental and more, through SECANDA Connect integrations

One balance, presented by RFID card or by QR code from the app. No separate printing accounts and no parallel balances.

How is the account funded? Do you have to top up in advance?

No. You choose the funding model, and several can coexist:

  • Prepaid top-up: by credit card, bank transfer, cash or online portal (for schools, parents top up themselves)
  • Direct payment: each transaction is charged immediately to the linked payment method or to an internal billing account
  • Payroll deduction: a configurable negative balance is allowed, then the deduction is applied automatically or exported to HR and accounting
How are we billed? Are there fees per card, per mobile credential, or per transaction?

Polyright operates on a single annual license, sized by the number of users managed on the platform.

  • No extra cost per physical card issued
  • No fee per mobile credential activated
  • Zero transaction fees on closed-loop payments
  • A user with card + mobile + QR code is counted only once

The annual license includes updates and support, no separate maintenance contract.

Can sales be linked to cost centers, departments or subsidies?

Yes. Each item can be linked to a cost center, and payments by voucher, meal plan or departmental subsidy are automatically allocated in the reports. Ideal for internal billing between departments (HR, visitor reception, internal events).

Which transaction data can be exported for BI or accounting?

Every transaction is stored with item, price, VAT, payment method, register, timestamp and user category.

  • Scheduled CSV / Excel exports
  • Database access for BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, etc.)
  • Data transferred to your accounting system as needed
