Flash PARCS Cashier Kit Configuration

1 min read

Also known as: in-lane cashier, in lane cashier, cashier booth

For facilities that utilize a cashier booth, Flash PARCS supports the use of an iOS device to take payments at the exit.

Configuration #

Cashier Kit Kiosk Configuration

  • Go to the location, open the Kiosk tab –> Add New
  • Make naming convention separate from the PARCS kiosk name (e.g.: Exit 1 can be named Cashier Exit 1)
  • Leave the default settings: Manned Kiosk, Key Store, Cash Drawer Port
  • Select the corresponding PARCS kiosk under the Cashier Exit Kiosk dropdown (do not connect to a lane if the kit is set up in an office) –> Save
  • Open the newly created kiosk and you should now be able to see it as an option in the Default Vehicle Zone drop-down list and select –> Save

Configure Cashier Lost Ticket (Ticket Type) #

NOTE: If the Cashier Kit is in a booth and not at an exit kiosk, processing a Lost Ticket at the cashier kit will not produce a barcode for parker’s exit. The parking operation needs to define a protocol to let these parkers out after they pay a Lost Ticket fee in a booth or office.

Configured if connected to a lane

  • Go to Ticket Types –> Add New
  • Enable the following flags and hit Save
    • Name – Cashier Lost Ticket
    • Show Paid
    • Show in Summary
    • Confirm Price
    • Flash PARCS
    • Flash PARCS Lost Ticket
    • Pay and Display
    • Self Park
  • Go down to Add Ticket Type Price section –> Add New
    • Name – Cashier Lost Ticket
    • Enter in the Amount
    • Flag as Lost Ticket Price –> Save
  • Go to Prices and click the Cashier Lost Ticket
    • Enable Is PrePaid & Is Self Park –> Save

Add Cashier User #

  • Go to Users –> Add New
  • Enter in Email Address, First Name, Last Name. E.g.: Cashier 1, cashier1@LocationName.com
  • User Type – Dispatcher –> Save

No roles will need to be selected, can flag Reports Only if necessary.

Keys to Success #

  • All Cashier Kits comes with an iPad scanner
  • If you don’t want a full-blown Cash Machine, the Cashier Kit is the way to go
  • FDMS or Global will not work with MP200 devices
  • If Cashier Kit is in a booth and not at an exit kiosk, processing a Lost Ticket at the cashier kit will not produce a barcode for parker’s exit. The parking operation needs to define a protocol to let these parkers out after they pay a Lost Ticket fee in a booth or office.
  • In the location details, assign an email to Email Shift Summary to send reporting for cashier kit
  • For text receipts, will need to assign a Dedicated Number
