How to use:

After selection, customers can then proceed to make payment.
Just 2 easy steps!
However, one thing to note is that the machine does not accept cash payments.
Cashless payments
The smart kiosk only accepts payment via:
- Credit cards

Although smart kiosks and vending machines alike are not new in Malaysia, the introduction of the FamilyMart Mini has garnered much attention from the public. Facebook users have been asking FamilyMart to roll out more of the vending machines across different locations in Malaysia ever since it shared the news on its Facebook Page.
However, FamilyMart did not reveal any plans to bring more of its new vending machines to other locations in the country.
As of date, the FamilyMart Mini is currently only available and operating at the Shell Karak Highway 2 in Gombak.
