A trading card vending machine in your station
Pokémon, One Piece or Magic boosters in self-service, between two trains. BoosterStop installs, fills and maintains the machine; the station provides the space and a power socket.
Rounded averages from our Geneva network.
Why it works in a station
Customers who come back every day
Commuters pass through the station morning and evening. Collectors return with every new set, and check the stock online before they come.
A purchase that fits in a connection
Choose, pay, collect: it takes a few moments. Enough time between two trains, with no queue and no salesperson.
Sales without staff
In Geneva, a machine averages over 400 sales per month. Payment happens at the machine: cash with change, contactless card, smartphone, and TWINT in Switzerland.
Something happening in the hall
A new set is in the machine on release day. On those days, the machine draws a crowd and gives people a reason to come through your station.
How the machine fits in
In the hall or a concourse
The machine needs shelter: the main hall, a shopping concourse or a covered passage, close to the main flows.
A pilot in one station
The simplest start is one machine in one station: measure the sales, then decide together on what comes next.
Flexible payment
A fixed rent or a share of revenue, whichever suits your network. No minimum term.
Restocking that stays out of the way
We come every week, and more often when a set comes out, at times that suit you.

Questions we get asked
- Can the machine go on a platform?
- It needs to be indoors or sheltered from the weather. A hall, a concourse or a covered passage work well.
- Can we start with a single station?
- Yes, and that's what we recommend: one pilot machine, measured sales, then a decision on the rest of the network.
- How is the station paid?
- Through a fixed rent or a share of the machine's revenue. We agree on it together, based on footfall.
- Who handles payments and breakdowns?
- We do. Payment happens at the machine and nothing goes through your ticket offices. Installation, maintenance and customer service are on us.
- What space and power are needed?
- About 1 m² of floor space (1.1 m² with clearance) and a standard socket. The machine weighs 280 kg and uses very little power.
Propose your location
We reply within 48 hours. The first exchange is mainly about whether the footfall justifies a machine, and we say so frankly when it doesn't.
