The Kiosk Channel

Selling at self-service terminals — no browser context, with a deliberately shortened checkout: pick a product, pay, done. Live updates reach every terminal without a redeploy.

The Channel

How Kiosk works on Wiresphere.

The Kiosk channel brings Wiresphere to self-service terminals: dedicated hardware, no browser context, rugged environments. The Checkout Handler reduces the flow to the essentials — at its core just the payment, with no address steps. Proven in an international rollout with hundreds of terminals.

An order is an order: This channel, too, feeds the same master modules — Sales, Warehouse & Logistics and Accounting stay in sync across every channel.

Checkout Handler

The flow — tailored to the use case.

The flexible Checkout Handler determines which steps this channel runs through:

01

Selection at the terminal

A reduced product assortment per location, large touch controls, multilingual.

02

Payment

Contactless via NFC or debit card — the shortened handler requires no addresses and no registration.

03

Receipt & dispensing

QR-code or printed receipt, optional control of dispensing hardware — the order is in the system instantly.

Features

What the Kiosk channel delivers.

Shortened checkout

Only the steps that make sense at the terminal — configured via the kiosk Checkout Handler.

Live updates without redeploy

New prices, products or flows reach every terminal via the runtime's update channels — no on-site visit required.

Offline queue

Network down? Orders and payments are buffered and cleanly reprocessed — including payment retry.

Hardware integration

NFC/debit-card terminals, receipt printers and dispensing hardware via defined contracts.

Fleet management

All terminals centrally in the admin console: status, version, location — traceable per device.

No browser required

The kiosk frontend runs natively on the terminal and consumes the same contracts as the web shop.

Benefits

Why the channel pays off.

01

24/7 sales

Revenue outside opening hours — without additional staff on site.

02

Rollout-ready

From 5 to 500 terminals with the same composition — updates flow centrally.

03

Less operational load

Fewer on-site visits thanks to remote maintenance, monitoring and live updates.

Roles & Permissions

Each terminal acts with its own device account and minimal rights (sell, take payment — nothing else). Store managers see their locations; technicians service devices without access to revenue data.
