Paying for laundry in a Smart-O-Mat room

Our laundry rooms use modern app and card payments. Your room uses one specific payment system — here’s how to find yours, get the right app, and get help fast.

Step 1

Find your room’s payment system

Look at the payment reader on any washer or dryer — the sticker on it names the system. Every Smart-O-Mat laundry room also has a posted payment-instructions page — keep an eye out for it on the wall of your room. Then grab your room’s app free from the App Store or Google Play:

PayRange sticker on a Smart-O-Mat machine — blue Pay With Your Phone label with QR code and machine number

📲 PayRange

The blue “PayRange — Pay With Your Phone” sticker. Search “PayRange” in your app store, add funds, and tap the machine number on screen (or scan the sticker’s QR).

ShinePay sticker on a Smart-O-Mat machine — blue label with QR code and 6-digit machine number

✨ ShinePay

The blue “ShinePay” sticker with a QR code and a 6-digit machine number. Search “ShinePay” in your app store, then scan the QR or enter that number.

💳 CleanPay

The sticker doesn’t name the app — here’s how to tell

If your machine’s sticker says “Pay with your Phone — see room poster” with a QR code and a machine number, your room uses CleanPay. Search “CleanPay” in your app store. Machines with card readers also take credit/debit tap-to-pay directly.

1 · The sticker on your machine looks like this

CleanPay room sticker on a Smart-O-Mat machine — Pay with your Phone, scan QR code or enter machine number

2 · Your registration code (SRC) is on this CleanPay poster in your room — red box, usually starts with SMRT

CleanPay room poster — the SMRT registration code is in the red box at the bottom left

Enter that code in the CleanPay app, then scan the machine’s QR or type its number — and you’re washing. No poster in your room? Call or text 213-660-7899 or email support@gosmartomat.com and we’ll send you your room’s code.

Resident FAQ

Straight answers

Which app does my laundry room use?

Check the payment reader on any machine — the sticker names the system (PayRange, CleanPay, or ShinePay). Every room also has a posted payment-instructions page. Download the named app from the App Store or Google Play, add funds, and you're washing. CleanPay rooms also use a registration code (SRC, usually starting with SMRT) printed on the room’s CleanPay poster.

The machine took my money — what do I do?

Request a refund at gosmartomat.com/refund — most requests are reviewed within 2–3 business days. In-app purchases can also be disputed in the payment app itself.

A machine is broken — where do I report it?

gosmartomat.com/fix — the ticket goes straight to our dispatch team with a guaranteed 24–48 hour response, and everyone in your room gets an automatic alert when it's fixed.

Can I still pay with coins or a card?

Many rooms accept coins, add-value laundry cards, or tap-to-pay on the machine alongside the app — whatever readers your room is equipped with.
