Set Up a Kiosk
Use a dedicated Android device with Chrome, a working front camera, stable Wi-Fi, and continuous power. Place it on a stable stand facing customers.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”Ask your administrator for:
- the kiosk URL on the company’s own domain, ending in
/kiosk; - a dedicated operator email for this kiosk;
- the actual temporary password shown after that operator account was created.
The kiosk login accepts a password only. The email-code method available in the normal Operator workspace is not available here.
Sign in and grant camera access
Section titled “Sign in and grant camera access”-
Open the supplied kiosk URL in Chrome. If the sign-in page does not appear, add
/kiosk/loginto the company domain. -
Enter the dedicated kiosk email and password, and then select the sign-in button.
The current kiosk interface is displayed in Russian. Ask your administrator to confirm the account if the sign-in attempt is rejected.
-
When Chrome asks for camera access, select Allow. The kiosk uses the front-facing camera so a customer can present a QR code to the device.
-
Wait for the live camera view and ready state. If Chrome denies access, follow Troubleshoot a Kiosk.
Install the kiosk on the home screen
Section titled “Install the kiosk on the home screen”-
Open Chrome’s menu and choose the available Install app or Add to Home screen action. The exact Chrome label can vary by Android version.
-
Confirm the installation and open the new home-screen icon.
-
Confirm that the kiosk opens directly at
/kioskin a standalone window.
Configure the device for daily use
Section titled “Configure the device for daily use”- Keep the device connected to power and stable Wi-Fi.
- Enable Android screen pinning if the device supports it, and pin the installed kiosk app.
- Set a fixed, readable brightness. The kiosk requests a screen wake lock, but Android settings should still prevent the display from sleeping if wake lock is unavailable.
- Keep sound enabled if you want the confirmation beep. Always use the visible result as the source of truth because browser sound may be unavailable.
- Position the stand so the front camera sees a customer’s phone without exposing operator controls.
- Restart the device daily, reopen the installed kiosk, and confirm that the ready scanner appears before service begins.
