Lab 50 allows for easy kiosk pricing updates through the use of product catalogs configured on a per fulfillment, kiosk, or location basis. If you currently use Photo Finale Web, this service is included at no additional cost. If you are not a Photo Finale Web customer, you may opt to add this service for a small fee. Please contact your regional sales representative for information on adding this option.

To begin setup, you'll need to access the Setup Wizard on the APM(s) you wish to update to ensure that pricing integration is enabled

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.

...

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

Once pricing integration is enabled, you'll need to build your initial catalog(s) at Lab 50. To ensure you are able to correctly update the pricing for ALL products, you'll need to make a list of products currently enabled on your kiosk(s).

In the Setup Wizard on the APM, click on the Express fulfillment button. If this appears as Enabled on the right panel, scroll through the product configuration on the left panel and click on each product to display the product name, product ID, and current pricing. Record each item given in the fulfillment making sure to note the correct product ID. Once you have information written down for fulfillment one, proceed to do the same for any other fulfillments offered on your kiosk.

Next, you'll need to access Store Management > Product Catalog and proceed to build catalogs for each fulfillment offered on your kiosk(s). Using the list of products recorded from the kiosk and their associated product IDs, add the products to a new catalog(s) along with the price you would like to use for the product.
