Today we have released version 4.0 of Kiosk Virtual Stores. This release brings many changes and updates, including:

• All new look & feel. Many new ways to customize the look of an individual store.
• Completely revamped billing system.
• New “My Account” area, allowing users to review their orders and order status. Additional functionality will be added to “My Account” over the next several updates.
• Garment “Rendering”, allowing users to see a 2D graphic of the shirt with embroidery/personalization shown in the proper locations. (Enabled on sport shirts, more garment types to come)
• Countless “under the hood” improvements and changes to accommodate future add ons.

Don’t just take my word for it, check out the demo!

Below the fold are a few images of how Kiosk 4.0 will look when released in September. Allows for more tuning of the look and feel for individual stores. Are your company colors green and black? No Problem!

Please take a moment to comment on what you think of the change…

We are in process of developing our next release of Kiosk virtual stores, version 4.0

With Kiosk 4.0, we are adding a few features and giving the look & feel a much needed face-lift. Over the next few weeks I will be posting more information on what we are adding, as well as some sneak peeks at the new look.

We just rolled out a new version of the stores with a few changes:

1. Quick Picks can be edited and disabled. You must be logged in as a store administrator to do this.
2. Tax Exemption. We now support exempting sales tax for qualified organizations, please contact us to enable this if you qualify.
3. Newest Items listing for store administrators.
4. Created “My Account” area, and moved the change password and order history links to My Account.

Coming Soon:
1. My Addresses, My Account Info, and My Gift Codes to the My Account area.
2. Ability to order select items undecorated.

Kiosk Version 3.9 is now active across all Kiosk Virtual Stores.
Many changes made were “under the hood” improvements, but we did add 3 new items, 2 of which were heavily demanded by the community.

They include:
Budget Billing
This new tool will allow you to establish budget limits for individuals you approve and completely bypass e-commerce for purchases. This gives your people the freedom to purchase the embroidered apparel they need without a credit card, or to make purchases for company use without the need of a purchasing card. Further, this tool can be used to issue purchasing codes that you don’t have to pay for up front. They are only billed to you when they are redeemed. This can be a valuable asset for incentive programs, employee rewards, and client gifts. Please contact us for more information on enabling budget billing for your Kiosk Store.

Quick Picks
Quick Picks can be used in many ways. Just configure the style, color, and decoration the way you want it and save it as a “Quick Pick”. Your Quick Picks will be displayed on your Kiosk home page. All anyone has to do is choose their size and check out. It’s simple, fast, and easy. You can save as many Quick Picks as you like. Some examples might be an official show shirt, a golf outing shirt, or proper associate apparel for field service. The uses are endless and yours to create.

Personalization Colors
Previous versions of Kiosk only allowed black or white as thread color choices for personalization. Now, you can choose to offer logo specific complimentary thread colors along with black and white. Contact us about setting this up for your store.

As always, please feel free to contact us regarding anything we can do to make your store successful. We look forward to being of service.
