How do I get started with my kiosk?
Sellers enrolled in Pro Seller by TCGplayer have access to an in-store kiosk that makes it easy for customers to shop and place orders in your store. If you use channel management to set your My Store prices, you’re ready to set up your kiosk.
In this guide:
Kiosk Accounts
To make a computer usable as a kiosk, you’ll need to make sure your store information is up-to-date in your TCGplayer Pro Settings page, and then you can log in as a kiosk account via http://kiosk.tcgplayer.com/. As a Pro seller, you can create as many kiosk accounts as you want for you and your employees—but keep in mind the following restrictions:
- You cannot log into multiple devices with a single kiosk account.
- Each kiosk account is associated with an email address, which cannot be associated with any other user accounts.
Create Account(s)
1. Within your Seller Portal, navigate to the TCGplayer Pro Settings tab and click on Set User Roles.
2. Click Add Kiosk User.
3. Choose how many accounts you want to make and click Continue. You can create up to five accounts at once.
Note: If you create more than one account at once, you’ll have the option to create a single password for all of them. You can edit those passwords later.
4. Enter a password and click Continue.
5. Enter a first and last name for your kiosk account and click Continue.
6. Enter a new email address for this account and click Save. The email will automatically end with @yourstorename. This doesn't have to be an actual email address and you'll only be using this as a username to log into your kiosk.
Note: You will not be able to change this email later, and each email can only be associated with one user account.
7. After saving, you’ll see a success message. You should now see your new kiosk user in your Users table.

Setting up your kiosk is easy, and only involves a few simple steps.

See In-Store Orders in Your Orders Tab
Once your customers place an order using your kiosk, you'll be able to see it as an In-Store Pickup Pay Later order in your Orders tab and you can manage them from there. For more info, refer to Managing In-Store Pickup Pay Later Orders.
Best Practices
Follow these recommendations to get the most out of your kiosk:
-
Set up your kiosk somewhere your customers will find it easily and use signs or sticky notes to let them know they can use it. Make sure your customers won’t be in each other’s way while they’re browsing.
-
Try setting up a kiosk on a computer with a keyboard and mouse, so your customers can browse quickly and easily.
-
Set up another computer nearby your kiosk with your Pro website. This will help your customers search your store in whichever way they prefer.
-
You can display products on your kiosk that you only want to sell in-store using our channel management tools. Plus, you can set different prices in-store and online.
-
Your kiosk integrates your Pro settings from your website, so be sure to customize your settings. For example, if you hide out-of-stock inventory in your Pro settings, this selection will apply to both your website and your kiosk.
