# ROLLER + Intercard cashless card integration

Venues using Intercard can sell cashless cards, top up balances and accept card payments through ROLLER — all without leaving the system. Every transaction is tracked in ROLLER alongside your bookings, retail and F&B data, giving you one report across your whole venue.

> [!NOTE]
> **All plans (except Legacy).** For Legacy customers, contact your customer success manager or our [support team](/v1/docs/contact-roller-support) to unlock the Intercard cashless card integration. **ROLLER API access is not required to use the Intercard integration.**

## What you can do

Once Intercard is connected to ROLLER, your team gains these core capabilities — all without leaving the ROLLER interface.

1. **Sell Intercard cashless card products through ROLLER** Sell cashless card products at every touchpoint you already use — at POS, through online checkout, or bundled into a party package. When included in a package, the card entitlement loads automatically at the time of sale.
2. **Assign card variations to physical RFID cards at ROLLER POS** When a guest arrives, staff scan or manually enter the card ID at POS to link it to the entitlements purchased. The guest can then tap their card at any Intercard-equipped game or attraction.
3. **Accept cashless card payments at ROLLER POS** Guests can use the cash balance on their Intercard card to pay for games, food, beverages, merchandise or entry tickets — keeping spend within your venue. Only the cash balance can be used as a payment method; bonus cash cannot.
4. **View a guest's card details at ROLLER POS** Staff can look up any card instantly at POS to see the balance summary and a full transaction history.
5. **Merge cashless card balances at ROLLER POS** If a guest has multiple cards, staff can consolidate all balances — cash, time and activities — onto a single card at POS. The destination card's history records the consolidation for a full audit trail.
6. **Assign cards to a whole group at once** For large group bookings, staff can bulk assign a range of sequential cards in one action instead of scanning each card individually.
7. **Create cashless card bundles** Group multiple balance types (such as cash credit, minutes and activity entitlements) into a single product, so guests can purchase everything in one transaction and have all balances assigned to their card in one scan at POS.
8. **Track all card transactions in ROLLER** Every card sale, top-up and card-based payment is recorded in ROLLER alongside your bookings, retail and F&B data — giving you a complete picture of venue spend per visit.

## How Intercard cashless card variation types work

A single Intercard cashless card product can carry one variation type, or a combination loaded onto the same physical card.

| Variation type | What it loads | Best used for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Cash** | A dollar amount (fixed or custom) the guest spends at games and attractions. Bonus cash is calculated by Intercard based on the value and price you set. | Walk-in top-ups, general arcade play, gifting |
| **Minutes** | A time block (eg 60 minutes) that counts down when the guest first taps a reader. | Trampoline parks, open play sessions, timed attractions |
| **Activity** | A set number of plays at a specific game or attraction (eg 5 laser tag sessions). | Party packages, premium attractions, go-karts, escape rooms |

> [!NOTE]
> Guests can use the cash value on their card to pay for food, beverages, tickets and merchandise at ROLLER POS. Bonus cash cannot be used for these purchases — only the base cash value.

## Cashless card and transaction visibility at POS

When you look up an Intercard card number at POS, you can see:

- **Balance** — a summary of the cash and bonus cash currently loaded on the card. Bonus cash appears in brackets, for example $19.00 ($13.50). If a card has no existing balances, a label indicates the card has no value.
- **Card history** — past transactions showing the date, operation type and amount.

## Keep in mind

- **Activity configuration is managed in Intercard, not ROLLER.** ROLLER links to activities already set up in Intercard — you cannot create or edit activity settings from within ROLLER.
- **Top-ups are accepted at POS only.** Guests can top up Cash and Minutes variations at a ROLLER POS station. Top-ups are not available through online checkout.
- **Only the cash balance can be used as a payment method.** Bonus cash and points cannot be used to pay for items at POS.
- **Refunds are not sent to Intercard.** Refunds processed in ROLLER are not communicated to the Intercard system. If you refund a cashless card, take the physical card from the guest and reset the balance in Intercard.
- **Intercard cards must have a unit price of at least $0.01.** Cards with a $0 price will not activate. Always set a minimum price when creating cash variations.
- **Amusement Connect and Intercard cannot be used at the same time.** Only one cashless card provider can be active per venue.

## What you need to get started

There are three things to have in place before the integration can be activated:

1. **An active paid Intercard subscription** — The integration relies on a live Intercard account. If you don't have one yet, [contact Intercard for a demo](https://www.intercardinc.com/).
2. **Intercard RFID cards and compatible hardware** — Physical Play Cards (or wristbands) for your guests to carry, plus RFID readers at each ROLLER POS station so staff can scan cards.
3. **Your Intercard server credentials** — IP address and port number for your Intercard server. Your Intercard representative can confirm these details.

To connect the integration, share your Intercard server credentials with the ROLLER support team.
