What the kiosk needs to start

  1. Products in the kiosk’s space. See Make products show on the kiosk
  2. At least one category under Active → Home → Categories. See Set up the home screen
  3. The Theme colours. They’re filled in with defaults, so you only need to change them to match your brand
  4. A Home Screen Label, unless you use the traditional layout described below
  5. Splash Media for the idle screen. See Set up the idle screen
  6. Fonts for Light, Regular, and Bold: the settings can’t be saved without them. See Customise the look of Endless Aisle

How to choose the products space

  1. Leave Products space empty to show the products of the space the device is assigned to. This suits most stores
  2. To show the products of another space, for example when several stores share one catalogue space, select that space in Products space

How to set the languages

The kiosk uses the languages of the installation. Product texts are shown in the kiosk’s language when your products have them, and in English otherwise.

  1. In Multi-language support (see Glossary), enable the languages of your store and set the default language
  2. Fill in the texts in each language, such as banner titles and the home screen label. A text setting shows one field per language: choose the language you edit in Language to, on the right of the settings, and its fields become editable. Language from is shown next to it for reference
  3. To let customers switch language, turn on Features → Language Picker. It appears when two or more languages are enabled

The kiosk’s own texts, such as buttons and messages, are available in English, Swedish, German, Spanish, Italian, Norwegian, and Chinese. The kiosk returns to the default language when it goes back to the idle screen.

How to set the timeout

  1. Set App Timeout in seconds: how long the kiosk waits without a touch before it returns to the idle screen. Default: 45
  2. When it returns to the idle screen, the kiosk empties the bag, so the next customer starts fresh
