Manage Kiosk Locations One At A Time

Retail rollouts rarely happen all at once.

One store may be ready this week. Another may still need device setup, staff training, or a final checkout test. A seasonal booth may only run for a month.

Store Check-In now gives merchants more control over each location. You can start a location when it is ready, schedule it to stop at the end of the billing cycle, resume it before that stop takes effect, and archive locations that should no longer appear in setup screens.

Kiosk operations should move one location at a time.

Start billing when a location is ready

Before a location goes live, there is usually setup work to finish. You may need to connect devices, adjust the kiosk layout, test checkout, or train the team using it.

Now you can prepare the location first and turn it on when it is ready.

Use location-level controls when you are:

• Rolling out across multiple stores in phases
• Preparing pop-ups or event booths with fixed launch dates
• Testing Store Check-In in one location before expanding

You no longer have to treat every configured location as a live deployment.

What to check before turning on a location

Before you start a location, run a quick launch check:

• The kiosk device is paired to the right location.
• The kiosk layout has the tabs you want shoppers to use.
• Checkout works for a test product.
• Staff know how shoppers should use the kiosk.
• The location name is clear enough for your team to recognize later.

If the launch check is complete, the location is ready to turn on.

Stop billing at the end of the cycle

When a location is no longer needed, you can schedule billing to stop for that location at the end of the current billing cycle.

Use scheduled stop billing for:

• Seasonal stores
• Temporary market booths
• Completed events
• Retired test locations

The location keeps access through the paid period, and the rest of your active locations keep running. You can also schedule multiple locations to stop in the same cycle.

Resume billing before the stop takes effect

Plans change. A booth gets extended. A store that was going to pause decides to keep the kiosk. A scheduled stop turns out to be premature.

If billing is scheduled to stop at the end of the cycle, you can resume it before the stop takes effect. Resuming cancels the scheduled stop and keeps the location active into the next cycle.

The reversible stop flow lets you clean up billing plans without treating every decision as final.

Archive inactive locations without deleting history

Billing is only part of the cleanup. The active location list also needs to stay useful.

Store Check-In now supports archiving inactive locations. Archiving does not delete the record. The location remains available for reference, but it is removed from active setup screens.

Archiving fits closed stores, completed pop-ups, seasonal locations, and old test locations. You keep the record without keeping it in the way.

Clearer status in the location list

The location list now shows which locations are active, waiting, or scheduled to stop at the end of the current cycle. Location pages also show the current status before you make changes.

A manager should be able to answer these questions quickly:

• Which locations are active?
• Which ones are waiting for billing approval?
• Which ones are scheduled to stop?
• Which ones should be archived?

The app should answer that without forcing you to reconstruct the rollout from old notes.

Built for retail operations

Location controls help Store Check-In match the lifecycle of a physical rollout.

Prepare a location before launch. Activate it when ready. Schedule a stop when it winds down. Resume if plans change. Archive it when it should no longer be part of active work.

If you are managing kiosks across multiple locations, open Store Check-In and review which locations are ready to activate, stop, resume, or archive.
