Before configuring the Kiosk, the iPad needs to be connected to your ministry's Giving account. Registration verifies that the iPad is authorized to manage transactions for your ministry and ensures payments go to the right account and are reflected in your reports.
What You'll Need
- The Giving Kiosk app installed on the iPad.
- Administrator access to your ministry's Giving account, or an administrator available to help with the Giving-side setup.
Register Your Device
These steps are time-sensitive, so be sure you have access to both your Giving site and the iPad being registered.
-
Open the Kiosk app on the iPad. On first launch, the app displays a registration code that identifies this device.
-
Sign in to your Giving account as an administrator, click the gear icon at the top-right corner, and select Device Settings.
-
Click the Register Device button.
-
Enter the registration code shown in the Kiosk app into the registration field in Giving, give the device a nickname, then click the Register Device button
- The iPad now appears in your list of registered devices.
-
Return to the Kiosk app. You will see a message saying the device is connected. Click Continue to enter the user's PIN number.
Unregister / Delete Device
On the Device Settings page, click the delete icon next to the device you would like to delete.
Registration links the device to your ministry but does not grant a person access. Each user signs in with their own six-digit PIN, and no data is stored on the phone—it passes through securely. Registering a device and creating a user are separate steps. See Managing Users and PIN Access.
