How to Set Up the Kiosk iPad App

Kiosk is an iPad app that enables your ministry to accept gifts, event registrations, and form submissions from a self-service station. Set it up once, lock it, and leave it unattended in a lobby, welcome area, or event entrance for your community to use independently.

 

What You'll Need

  • An iPad with Kiosk 3.0 by Ministry Brands iPad app installed
  • A connected Moby 5500 card reader
  • Administrative access to your ministry's Giving account, or an administrator who can set up the Giving side for you.
  • A supported stand to hold the iPad
  • A reliable internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular) at the Kiosk location.

 

Set Up Your Kiosk in Six Steps

  2. Use the app-generated registration code to connect the iPad to your ministry's Giving account. See Register an iPad.
  3. Create or confirm at least one authorized Kiosk user, then sign in using the six-digit PIN sent by email. See Manage Kiosk Users.
  4. Choose the Kiosk mode you want: Give Now, Give Now & Events, or Dedicated Form. Each will have unique settings.
  5. For Give Now, Give Now & Events, and Dedicated Form (if payment is required), be sure to connect the card reader. 
  6. Lock the Kiosk and place it where your community will use it. See Lock and Manage.

 

How the new Kiosk Differs from the Legacy Kiosk

  • Runs on a current iPad with a simple Bluetooth card reader rather than legacy hardware.
  • Setup, mode switching, and maintenance are considerably simpler.
  • The donor experience is more modern and consistent across giving, events, and forms.
