Connecting Your Kiosk

Once your kiosk is powered on and the welcome screen is showing, the next step is to connect it. There are three things to wire up: your venue's Wi-Fi (so it can reach the cloud), your BoothIQ account (by scanning the kiosk's QR code with the BoothIQ app), and the license (issued by that same scan).

The first two are required once: an unlinked kiosk shows an Activate button on the welcome screen and will not serve customers until it has been scanned, and the scan needs the kiosk online. After that, BoothIQ is offline-first: the booth keeps serving customers without a connection. Cloud sync, remote monitoring, template downloads, and license renewals still need network connectivity when they happen.

1. Connecting to Wi-Fi. Use the WiFi tab in admin to join your venue's network.
2. Cloud registration. Link this kiosk to a booth in your BoothIQ account by scanning its QR code with the BoothIQ app.
3. License and activation. Check the license status and what to do if you see a trial or grace-period banner.
4. Testing your connection. Confirm the booth is talking to the cloud.
