What is PF@Kiosk?
This new feature (August 2013, APM v8.5) allows retailers to offer their full online product line from within the kiosk workflow.
Think of it...
- No more updating kiosks with big content installers.
- Consistent product catalog between your kiosks and your website (and one setup!)
- A WAY more flexible interface for customers to put together their creative products (try a book online, it's awesome!)
- Takes full advantage of larger monitors, including wide screens.
- Customers can finally save their products! This means they can get to them later, they can start in store and finish them at home or start at home and finish at the store!
- Full account access of all uploaded photos and a simple way to upload more!
- Easy access to Facebook and Instagram accounts for ordering.
We recommend...
Adjust your kiosk product line to offer prints, enlargements and any easy, single image products (canvas, cards, gifts)... use the online site for the rest of the creative products--your customers will especially love it for books, calendars, and cards because they can save them!
Boring setup details...
This setting can be enabled during the APM 8.5 software installer, or anytime by accessing the Setup Wizard (then go to Kiosk Settings > Product Selection Settings)
Questions?
- What if I don't have a Photo Finale or Foto Depot site? Let us sign you up for one! You can still have another online site, just use this one for the PF@Kiosk.
- Fees? The same revenue share applies to PF@Kiosk orders as you have on your online site.
- Can I use PF@Kiosk but not offer everything I do on the online version of the site? No, it's the same. Easy. The retailer can control the landing page for PF@Kiosk. They can take them directly to the Create page, or even to a specific shopping category if they want.
- My online site requires payment, will my customers now have to pay with their credit card at the kiosk? No, not unless you set it that way. There are payment settings that you adjust on the kiosk specific to this workflow...same page in the Setup Wizard where you enable the feature.
