Example Overview

This example shows how to set up the MDB Payment Utility to start Breeze Remote Pro with a credit card reader in authorization first/idle mode (Level 1).

 

General Flow

The user is presented with a “Tap to Pay” message on the standby (welcome.jpg) screen. When they tap, the screen changes to ready.jpg. Upon successful payment the touch screen action start photo booth is sent, starting the countdown automatically. If payment is unsuccessful, the touch screen action switch from ready to standby is sent, taking the user back to the standby (welcome.jpg) screen where they can make payment again.

 

Requirements

In order to fully test this example you will need the following software and hardware:

 

Remote Pro Setup

Create a simple photo booth event in Remote Pro set to take photos.

 

  • Enable Auto standby: returns users back to standby at end of session
  • Start Options: set to Touchscreen
  • Edit welcome.jpg: to show the price and invite users to scan their card
  • Edit ready.jpg: to display an Authorizing Payment message

 

One you have your basic event configured, you can then move on to configuring the MDB Utility.

 

MDB Utility Setup

Download the example MDB settings file and then load it in to the MDB Utility. This will configure the utility for this specfic example.

  • Go to Settings > Load and select MDB_authorization_first_ex1.xml
  • Enable Auto Connect
  • Enable Disable reader when not in photo booth mode

 

Adjusting Price

You can adjust the price by going to Settings > Request Payment and adjust the Request Payment Amount.

 

In Operation

Ensure the MDB Utility is running and connected. You can now launch Remote Pro and start the photo booth. You should see your standby screen, and be prompted to make payment. If successful, the countdown should begin.
