Self-service checkout and payment kiosks are the most popular usages of kiosks.
Ranging from purchase of inventory items not
carried in stores, to all-electronic
transactions like top-off credit for mobile
phones. From Bricks and Clicks to
fully automated business models kiosks can
give retailers the ease and breadth of
electronic transactions with the impulse
advantage of a live purchase.
A typical configuration for these kiosks consist of:
- X6 kiosk (in some cases an X5 kiosk with extended back).
- 19" LCD with a Touch screen Overlay
- Low end thermal receipt printer for receipts
- Payments: credit card swipe, debit cards or cash acceptors (Bill and/or Coins)
change is rarely given.
- A keyboard + trackball are generally
used only for registering customers, most
navigation and data entry will occur with
touchscreen and pin pad.
- A secondary overhead monitor can be used
for advertisements, marketing, or for user
instruction
