FAQ
What is cashless payment?
"Cashless" refers to a payment method where transactions are carried out without the use of physical money, such as (festival) tokens, chips, or cash. Instead, cashless payments use digital technologies to process transactions. At Tactile, visitors pay by first loading money onto their account and then using their wristband or payment card to make purchases.
What types of cashless payment are there?
Closed loop: a system that is tied to a specific event or location, where payments can only be made within a closed system, such as a personal wristband or an anonymous payment card.
Open loop: a system where payments are made using existing digital payment methods, such as debit card, credit card, Apple Pay, or Android Pay.

How does cashless payment work?
Before and during the event, visitors can top up their balance. This balance is used to pay for products at the event using a personal wristband or an anonymous payment card.
When does the visitor receive their payment wristband or card?
Upon arrival, the visitor receives their personal wristband after validating their ticket (QR code). At events without access control, visitors receive anonymous cards, which are distributed at entry.
How can the visitor top up or check their balance?
This can be done in several ways:
1. After purchasing a ticket, the visitor receives an email with a link to their personal portal, where they can easily add money to their account, for example, via iDEAL.
2. The anonymous card has a QR code that can be easily scanned with a phone. This opens the personal portal, allowing the visitor to quickly top up their account.
3. If an event app is used, the visitor can easily top up their balance, check their credit, and view transactions in their account.
4. At some events where the organization offers cash or card payments as an option, visitors can top up their balance through an event crew member by having their wristband or card scanned and completing the transaction with cash or card.
What if the visitor’s phone battery is dead?
Tactile provides unmanned charging stations where visitors can top up their balance using their bank card. Additionally, there are staffed top-up points where cash payments are supported.
Can the visitor pay with a debit card, credit card, or cash?
Tactile allows payments via debit or credit card at designated top-up points, as well as cash payments through an event crew member.
Can the visitor share their wristband or card with others?
The anonymous card can be easily shared with fellow visitors and is therefore also called a "friend card." The personal wristband, however, cannot be shared due to potential rights attached to it. However, event credit can be easily shared by scanning a QR code.
How does the visitor get their remaining balance refunded?
Depending on agreements with the event organization, Tactile aims to automatically refund the remaining balance within a few days.
What happens if a visitor does not have enough money in their account when placing an order?
In that case, the bar staff cannot complete the transaction. However, the visitor can quickly top up their balance via mobile, avoiding the need to queue again.
Can a visitor view their transactions?
Yes, after logging into their portal, visitors can view all transactions, including top-ups, purchases, and refunds.
What happens if a visitor loses their card or wristband?
The visitor can provide their email address to the event organization, allowing the lost card or wristband to be unlinked and the balance transferred to a new card or wristband.
Are event data shared with third parties?
Your data is safe with us! We never share event data such as visitors and ticket sales with third parties. However, you have full access to your event data in our system and can easily export it to Excel or CSV files.
Is support available at the event?
Depending on the event and customer preferences, Tactile always offers the possibility of on-site support to ensure smooth payment processing. Additionally, digital support is always available for smaller events.
Does the system work with eco-cups?
Yes, Tactile cashless payments support eco-cups. This eliminates the need for separate eco-cup tokens, as all transactions are processed digitally and directly settled with the order.
Does the system work without an internet connection?
Our system can temporarily function without an internet connection. Thanks to an offline mode, payments can continue while the issue is being investigated.

Reduce your overhead and save on your staff
Our system is designed to require less staff to keep venues running smoothly. With everything being digital, there is minimal need for staff intervention. Additionally, the fast transaction speed contributes to efficiency,
allowing fewer staff members to assist more visitors. This results in significant cost savings and a smoother experience for both visitors and the organization.

Top-up your balance everywhere, anytime
We recommend visitors to preload funds onto their account prior to the event, ensuring a worry-free start. If you notice during the event that your balance is insufficient, you can easily add funds via the app, browser, or even share money with friends
Phone battery dead? No problem, as we also provide top-up points where you can always add funds to your account. This guarantees a hassle-free experience, allowing you to fully enjoy the event.
Automatic refund after the event
At Tactile, we place great value on honesty and transparency, both towards visitors and organizations. We understand that a common frustration is the leftover unused coins that visitors have paid for.
By automatically refunding this balance, it instills trust in the visitor. This trust not only fosters visitor engagement but also increases revenue for the organization.
