Why liquor stores do well with an ATM
Liquor stores run on cash. A machine at the counter turns the customer who is short on cash into a full basket instead of a smaller one.
Card minimums and card fees frustrate customers. An ATM lets you keep a minimum on cards without losing the sale.
Lottery, cigarettes and check cashing all pull cash customers. An ATM inside the store means they do not leave to find one.
What fits your store
A busy liquor store often needs a higher capacity cassette or a second machine. We size the machine to your traffic and restock before it runs dry, including weekends and holidays.
Three ways to put an ATM in your store
01Free placement
California Merchant Solutions buys the machine, installs and bolts it down, programs it, handles the processing, loads the cash, monitors it, maintains it and supplies the paper, with 24/7 support. You provide a power outlet and about three square feet of floor. You earn a share of the surcharge on every withdrawal.
02Merchant loaded
We supply and support the machine, you load it with your own cash. Because your money is doing the work, the surcharge split moves in your favor, typically 50/50 or a base amount per transaction. Withdrawn funds are redeposited to your account within 48 hours.
03Buy your own
Own the ATM outright, keep the whole surcharge and use our processing with no contract. Processing is free once the machine does 300 or more transactions a month, which is ordinary volume for a busy store. We ship in five to ten business days with express shipping and lift gate included, and every machine carries a parts warranty.

What we handle on a full service placement
We buy the ATM, deliver it, install and bolt it down, program it, run the processing, load the cash, monitor it remotely, maintain and repair it, supply the paper and answer the phone 24/7. Your part is a power outlet and about three square feet of floor.
Where we place
Across Southern California, including San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire.
Venues we put ATMs in
Beyond storefronts we place and service machines in dispensaries, gas stations, night clubs, shopping centers, hotels, stadiums, airports, resorts, golf courses, parking lots, public spaces and any cash only business. If people are standing somewhere and paying cash, a machine belongs there.
Frequently asked questions
Is the ATM really free for a liquor store?
Yes. Under full service placement we buy the ATM, install it, program it, load the cash, monitor it and maintain it. You supply a power outlet and about three square feet of space. There is no purchase, lease or service fee.
What happens if the machine runs out of cash on a Saturday night?
Full service machines are monitored remotely, so we see cash levels before they run out and schedule loads around your busy days. If you load your own cash under the merchant loaded program, you control the timing.
How do I get paid?
Your surcharge share is paid by ACH on a monthly or quarterly schedule, with a statement showing transactions and surcharge for the period.
Can you replace my current ATM company?
Yes. Many of our liquor store placements replaced an older machine or a provider that stopped showing up. If you already own an EMV compliant ATM you can also switch to our processing, which is free at 300 or more transactions a month.
Do you serve stores outside San Diego?
We place ATMs across Southern California, including San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire. Call us with your address and we will confirm coverage.
