Option 1: Payment by Prepaid Card This option gives the customer a high degree of independence. They buy a prepaid card from your store, and the total price of each order is automatically deducted from the amount on the card. After printing the pictures, the customer can leave the shop without stopping at the cash register. This saves time for them and you and makes Olympus Picture Express a shop-in-shop business.
This option is designed for environments such as hotels, pharmacies, petrol stations, leisure centres etc. where the system is separate from your regular business. Sales personnel do not need to have photo developing experience or be well-trained.
Option 2: Combined kiosk and printer system, payment at cash register With this option, you receive a combined setup of kiosk and printer in a stand. After ordering the images, the customer receives his pictures at the kiosk together with a receipt. At the end of this process, he hands in the receipt and pays the indicated amount at the cash register. Should you choose to offer a bonus point system as a customer retention activity, his receipt would inform him of his current bonus point total.
This option is tailor-made for the traditional photo trade allowing high attention and care from the sales personnel.
Option 3: Separate placement of kiosk and printer, payment at cash register Placing the printer apart from the kiosk gives you a higher control over the print process. No user can carry out the pictures from the store without paying. The printer is placed behind the counter so the pictures are handed to the customer after he has paid. The receipt has an additional function in this setup: It differentiates between customer orders by assigning order numbers.
