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.

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.

• 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.

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.

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.
