Kiosk Hardware Guide

Objective

This article introduces the Ministry Brands Kiosk application, including setup instructions, hardware compatibility, and optional equipment recommendations.

Introduction to the Kiosk Application

The Kiosk application is a giving solution designed specifically for iPads.

📱 Note: It is not available through the Apple App Store.

When you purchase the Kiosk solution, you will receive:

  • A supported card swiper

  • Download instructions for the app

iPad Compatibility Requirements

The Kiosk app works on iPads that support iPadOS version 13 or later.

✅ Compatible iPad models include:

  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch (or newer)

  • iPad Pro 9.7-inch (or newer)

  • iPad Air 2 (or newer)

  • iPad Mini 4 (or newer)

⚠️ Important:
iPads 9th Gen and newer use USB-C ports instead of a headphone jack. These models are not compatible with the current card swiper.


Card Swiper Requirements

The card swiper provided connects via a traditional headphone jack.

Please ensure your iPad model includes this port or use a compatible adapter.

Optional Additional Hardware

You may choose to enhance your Kiosk setup with recommended accessories.
