The invention provides a payment method for self-service selling equipment. The payment method for the self-service equipment comprises the following steps: the self-service selling equipment is connected with a payment terminal through a Bluetooth module and sends equipment authentication information to the payment terminal; after the successful authentication, the payment terminal is bound with the self-service selling equipment; the payment terminal issues a purchase request to the self-service selling equipment; the self-service selling equipment sends equipment information to the payment terminal in response to the purchase request; the payment terminal displays the state of the self-service selling equipment and will upload payment information and the received equipment information to a vendor server; after receiving the payment information and the equipment information, the vendor server determines whether the self-service selling equipment is normal or not and whether a pay account has sufficient balance to pay or not; if both judgments are valid, equipment control information and payment success information are sent to the payment terminal; the equipment control information is transmitted through the payment terminal to the self-service selling equipment, and the self-service selling equipment is controlled to complete the corresponding work.
