Add Items to Admin Portal

- Verify the Kiosk Profile you will be using has Self Serve or Self Serve + Waiver Kiosk selected as the Station Type.
- Begin typing and select the name of the item into either Catalog Entries Available on Kiosk or Activities Available on Kiosk depending on how you want to add the item.

Item Specific Settings and Requirements
Barcode Tickets
You can sell barcode tickets if your inventory item has a receipt Ticket Format assigned to it.
You can have the ticket print at the kiosk if the customer pays at the kiosk with the following:
-
A working receipt printer connected.
-
Print Receipt Tickets set to Yes for the Kiosk Profile.
Passes
You can sell passes if the Magstripe Reader setting is enabled in Kiosk Setup and the passes have a Layout Type of either Card Only (No Customer) or Card (With Swipe) with Allow Sale Without Customer enabled.
If you are selling the pass as a Catalogue item, it will not save to the customer records. If you sell it via an Activity in a capacity area, the card will save to the customer who made the purchase.
The kiosk will prompt the user to swipe a card when they make a purchase.
Packages
Packages must contain only retail items, barcode tickets, and/or passes to be compatible at the kiosk.
Value Player Cards
-
Only CenterEdge and Embed value player cards can be sold at the kiosk (Sacoa/Intercard not supported)
-
Embed and CenterEdge bonuses are both supported.
-
The kiosk must have the magstripe reader enabled (just like with passes above)
-
The user swipes their card at the kiosk to load the value onto it. This works with both new and used cards

I see you can sell Value Player Cards now. Does that mean that a Play Card can be swiped and activated at the kiosk? Or, will the guest still need to go to the counter to get the card?
Is there a way to set it up for online purchase check-in or is this in the pipeline? For example, scanning your barcode and being prompted to scan a wristband or play card depending on the product purchased. This is what we would need to make the kiosk worth purchasing.
It would be great to support event bookings as well, just like the web store.
Levi,
Yes, the value player card can be swiped and activated at the POS/kiosk, but only CenterEdge and Embed cards are supported so far. We're not currently working on the ability to do online check-ins but it's something we'd like to see done in the future.
Can you scan a card or wristband at the kiosk to activate it, though? That is the functionality we need. We want full autonomy. No need to visit a cashier unless paying with cash or a coupon.
You can activate cards at the kiosk, so if someone is paying with a card, they don't have to go to the register. I edited my original answer to clarify.
