Customer contact labels that reduce complaints

What to include on machine labels and where to place them.

Updated Feb 9, 2026

Overview

Include a phone number, email, and short refund policy summary. Add the machine ID or location code so customers can report issues accurately.

Place the label near the payment area at eye level and use large, high-contrast text. Clear contact labels reduce disputes and build trust with location managers.

Placement guidance

  • Install at eye level near the payment device.
  • Use weather-resistant vinyl for durability.
  • Replace labels if fading or peeling.

Prevention

  • Keep contact info consistent across all machines.
  • Update labels after any phone or email changes.
  • Add QR codes for faster reporting.

Expanded guidance

  • Confirm all steps are documented so the next technician can reproduce the results.
  • Capture before/after metrics (errors cleared, sales restored, or uptime improved).
  • Review machine, reader, or route settings to ensure they match location standards.

Common pitfalls

  • Skipping a controlled test leads to false positives.
  • Updating hardware without documenting configuration changes.
  • Forgetting to verify payout, refund, or reconciliation data after changes.

Next-step checklist

  • Run a final test with known-good inputs.
  • Log the outcome with date, time, and device identifiers.
  • Schedule a follow-up check if the location has high traffic or seasonal demand.
