Who Should Consider Hosting?

ATMs perform best where cash is common or impulse purchases are frequent. Strong candidates include laundromats, smoke & vape shops, bars and restaurants, dispensaries, gas stations, and arcades. Foot‑traffic of 150+ daily is a helpful benchmark, but layout and visibility matter as much as raw volume.

Hosting Models

  • Free placement (most popular): Archer ATM owns and services the machine; you earn a share of each withdrawal.
  • Vault cash model: You supply the cassette cash and keep a higher share; we handle hardware, processing, and monitoring.
  • Lease/ownership: Higher control and long‑term yield; requires capital and a maintenance plan. We can support procurement and setup.

Installation & Timeline

  1. Assessment: We review your space, power, and network options; decide kiosk placement and signage.
  2. Paperwork: Straightforward agreement detailing revenue share, responsibilities, and payout schedule.
  3. Install day: Delivery, anchoring, EMV configuration, and testing. Typical downtime for your store is minimal.
  4. Go‑live: You receive monthly statements and payouts; we monitor uptime 24/7.

Operations, Security & Support

  • Compliance: EMV/PIN, ADA clearances, and network security are included.
  • Monitoring: Remote alerts for cash levels, errors, and connectivity so issues are handled proactively.
  • Service: Routine maintenance, signage refresh, and incident response covered by Archer ATM.

What You Can Earn

Earnings depend on traffic, placement, and payout model. Typical surcharge share falls between $2–$3 per withdrawal. Even 100 monthly withdrawals can translate into meaningful, reliable side income—while card fees decrease as more customers choose cash.
