Frequently Asked Questions

What Our Customers Asked

Whether you’re considering a smart vending solution or have already placed an order, this section answers the most common queries about our AI-powered machines, purchase process, and post-sale support.

Products

Yes! Our machines are already running in over 2,000 locations including cafeterias, office buildings, community centers, school campuses, factories, and residential areas. You'll find them across the U.S., Singapore, Malaysia, mainland China, and Hong Kong SAR. Visit our Showcase page to check out real customer setups and use cases.

Our vending machines use a combination of AI recognition and force-sensing technology to identify products as customers swipe/tap their card and open the door.

We use air-cooled freezers from an Italian-European brand with over 20 years of experience. These units work like household air conditioners and prevent frosting.

Age verification is not currently enabled. We're evaluating third-party solutions for future integration.

Payments

The POS machine incurs a monthly rental of $10. Transaction fees are 5.95%, and merchants can confirm final rates with their bank during onboarding.

Pre-authorization is a temporary hold on your card to confirm you have sufficient funds. It ensures a smooth payment process and protects against unpaid orders. Unlike traditional stores, HAHA Smart Vending authorizes entry first and charges after you select items. This hold:

  • Verifies your card is valid.
  • Reserves the necessary funds (as per card network rules).
  • Follows industry standards for unattended food and beverage purchases (like gas stations).

Refunds are processed by the customer's bank within 7 days. Delays depend on the bank.

Payment collection and tax reporting depend on each device owner's business model and local regulations. Please consult our sales or finance team for specific guidance.
