In order for guests to access the Internet through your CheckBox System they have to
be authenticated. There are several ways your guests can authenticate, including:
Access Tickets
PermaCodes
Credit Cards and PayPal
Free Access
Third Party Systems such as reservation or point-of-sale.*
*Your CheckBox can also be tied to your company loyalty card rewards program and
integrated into point-of-sale systems. For more information on integrating CheckBox
with loyalty programs and point-of-sale systems please contact CheckBox Support.
The system will automatically generate the appropriate buttons and boxes on your
welcome screen; If you have not printed any tickets and have enabled free access and
credit cards, then the system will not display a box to enter access tickets. If you have
not enabled credit card payments or free access and have created tickets then only the
ticket box will be displayed on your welcome screen. If you have not enabled free
access or printed tickets and have enabled credit cards then only the credit card buttons
will be displayed.
Access Tickets
allow you to create and distribute tickets for your guests that allow
them an amount of time online that you determine. These tickets can be good for an
amount of time ranging from 15 minutes to one year. You can give these tickets away or
sell them.
Tickets can only be used by one device and guest can not share tickets or re-use them.
To create tickets click on
Access Controls
on the
menu at the top.
Select the duration of the tickets
you wish to generate and their expiry date (shelf life)
and then click on the
Generate Tickets
button.
A new window will open with a sheet of ten tickets
that you can print on a standard printer. The sheet
can be cut up, or you can use standard business
card stock (Avery 5870 or equivalent) and the
tickets will print on the cards.
If you do not see the window of tickets open after
selecting
Generate
Tickets
be sure that you have pop up blockers
disabled or that you allow pop ups from the site.
The Graphic on the ticket can be changed under
Customize Site
.
With CheckBox you can accept credit cards
automatically through the welcome page. CheckBox
uses the PayPal system to clear the transactions and
deposit the funds into your account, and allows you to set the pricing and duration.
Using credit cards you do not need to be present to hand out tickets - great for
unattended locations such as marinas and public spaces.
