The best method to do is the following.

Do this for each fulfillment you have enabled for a given machine as each fulfillment will likely need their own product catalog.

On the APM go to the pricing page for your first fulfillment.

Then Click on the left and at the top of the pricing page you will see the name and the product ID of the product. Record those somewhere and the price you want.
Record this for each product in the fulfillment.
Repeat the same process for any of the other 2 possible fulfillment options you have enabled.

Then on Lab 50, create a Product catalog that consists of the exact same products you recorded. Using the product name And the Product ID you recorded. The key here is the product ID as that is what the APM and Lab 50 use as the identifiers for processing, pricing updates. Etc.

Then create a 2nd and 3rd catalog, each with the exact same products you have enabled on the kiosk for the 2nd and 3rd fulfillments if you have them enabled.

Then, once created, you can then go to the APM management site and assign the appropriate catalog to the appropriate fulfillment.

Important note:

If you machines are not all configured the same in terms of fulfillments and products in the fulfillments, then you may need to create a product catalog specific and representative for each unique fulfillment type you have.

Ex. If you have 5 machines, 4 are configure the same foe all 3 fulfillments and another is purely a prints only kiosk offering 1 hour services for 4x6s on fulfillment 1 and next day service on 4x6-8x12.

In this scenario you would create 5 product catalogs in lab 50.

3 catalogs to handle the 4 machines that are identically configured, and 2 more for the express machine since they offer a different product mix and perhaps slightly different pricing.

Click on the Lab 50 Integration option in the Primary Navigation Pane. This screen is used to configure integration between the APM software and the Lab 50 software for membership, pricing, and discount updates. Please review the Lab 50 documentation for further instruction on setting up APM integration.

• Lab 50 Configuration Status: Reports the current status of integration. If this option is configured in the Lab 50 software, a green checkmark will be displayed. It will also report the Lab 50 Dealer ID for which a particular APM is linked.

Lab 50 Settings, Tier 1:

• Enable Pricing Integration: Enables the push of remote pricing updates from Lab 50 to the APM. If disabled, pricing updates will not be applied.*

**Note: When this option is enabled, any pricing that is configured at the kiosk will be overwritten by the Lab 50 pricing information.

• Enable Discount Integration: If enabled, this feature allows customers to use discounts and promotions as defined in the Lab 50 software. For promotions that are tied to memberships, customers must log into their Photo Finale account in order to access them.

Lab 50 Settings, Tier 2:

• Enable Photo Finale Membership Integration: Allows APM customers to log into, or sign up for, a Photo Finale membership account. By signing into a membership account, the customer will not be prompted for their contact information at the end of the order, and this allows for better tracking of orders in Lab 50.

• Enable Photo Finale photo download integration: Allows customers to download photos from their online web albums to use in product creation at the kiosk.

**Note: This will only enable the option to download photos. If you would like to enable the option to upload photos to web albums, you'll need to enable it through the fulfillment options.

Debug Settings:

• Force Connection and Reset Connection Time: These buttons should only be used when recommended by technical support.

The EQ Connections suite of products allows for kiosk product pricing updates to be applied in one central location. Additionally, you can synch up membership plans between your kiosk and web offerings to allow customers to upload and download photos to/from their web albums for ordering within the store and skip the information screen at the end of an order where they normally would be prompted to enter their name and phone number. The first step in this process is to decide whether to use the same pricing catalog as is used on the PF Web website or to use a catalog(s) specific to the APM(s). In the screenshot below, individual catalogs have been created for each fulfillment type offered on the kiosk, and separate catalogs have been created for remote APMs.

Once the catalogs are in place, you’ll need to access Store Management > APM Management and hit the Refresh button. You should then see a list of all of the APM IDs associated with your client. Double-click on one of the APM listings, and information specific to each machine will be displayed, including the drop-down menus for assigning a catalog to each fulfillment type.

**Note: In this example, we have created separate catalogs for each fulfillment and for remote vs. in-store units. The store can use the same catalog for all machines or can setup a different catalog for every machine if they prefer.
