DRS Version 8.2 Required

The BuyerKiosk Sync application requires a minimum of version 8.2 of DRS in order for the integration piece to function properly. Before you can begin to install BuyerKiosk Sync, please verify you are on at least version 8.2. You are seeing this warning because we have not received an DRS API key for your store yet, which means they have not verified that you are on version 8.2. Please contact Winmark Support to get the upgrade process started before installing BuyerKiosk Sync.

***By Using BuyerKiosk Sync and Reading This User Guide You Agree To These Terms Above

Minimum Requirements

  • DRS version 8.3 or later - stores with Windows 2008R2 Server (Pervasive 11) and Windows XP POS, or Windows 7 POS
  • DRS version 8.2 but only if Pervasive 11 is installed

Installation Instructions

Installation/Setup

  1. Obtain DRS API Token
    Before you start the installation of the Buyerkiosk Sync App, please open a ticket on our support system using the small blue bubble on the bottom left of your BuyerKiosk buy queue screen. Request that we set your store up for integration. We must obtain a unique DRS API token from Winmark Support before the integration will work. This normally takes 24-48 hours.
  2. Set up the Default DRS User ID
    The DRS API requires that all buys have an associated default user ID. You must set this ID up in DRS before installing the BuyerKiosk Sync App. To set this ID up in DRS, perform the following steps from an open POS register:
    • Add a new user in the DRS Security Maintenance screen
      • For the User Name field enter “BuyerKioskCheckIn” (without the quotes). This user name will be seen on reports.
      • For the Initials field, enter “BK”. This will show as the employee initials on the buy queue screen in DRS.
      • For the Full Name enter “BuyerKiosk Check In Account”
    • Do not checkmark any other information after entering the above. Just hit Save.
    • From the Miscellaneous menu in DRS, select Login/Logout
    • Enter “BuyerKioskCheckIn” for the User Name and click Options to set the password on that user ID. Enter a long complicated password. It will never be used again, but must be set and should not be known by any employees to prevent them from logging in under this ID.
      • Note: If the password is not set or if the Cannot Change Password option is set, the account will not be usable by the API.
  3. Windows Owner/Trusted User Profile
    The BuyerKiosk Sync App will run fine in either the Owner Profile or the Trusted User Profile. It will not run in other profiles because it needs to access the server files and the other profiles cannot access the server N: drive. The BuyerKiosk Sync App shuts down each night and your employees need to restart it each morning after DRS is opened. Upon restart, the app will check our server to see if there is a newer version available. If you are running the App from the Owner Profile, it will automatically download and install the new version. You may have to hit Allow on the Symantec Anti-Virus screen that pops up on Windows 7 machines. If you are running the App from the Trusted User Profile the auto update process will not work because the Trusted User Profile does not allow software to be installed. If the App notifies you that there is an update to install, be sure to log out of the Trusted User Profile, log in to the Owner Profile and then restart the App. It will then notify you of an update and you can continue the installation of the update. Once the update is finished, you can log out of the Owner Profile and log back in to the Trusted User Profile to run the App.
  4. Download BuyerKiosk Sync (<-- Click Link)
    • Contact us via The support bubble to get the download password
    • ***IMPORTANT: Once downloaded, rename the file from 'BuyerKioskSync._xe' to 'BuyerKioskSync.exe'
    • Run the file
  5. Set Up Buyer Kiosk Sync
    When you first install the application, you will be presented with the following screen:
  6. Go to your Buyer Kiosk Administration Panel and on the left side, click the Store Admin link and then the Sync App link as shown below:
  7. Review the Terms and Conditions document, select the agreement checkbox and hit the Generate New Key button. The system will generate a one-time use installation key. Insert the key in the first textbox as show below:
  8. Using your mouse or the tab key move to the second box on the above setup screen. The system will show you instructions on how to set up the Default DRS user ID. Hit OK to close the setup instructions and then hit the “Search DRS for User” button to search for the DRS user ID you set up earlier. If it sees the BuyerKioskCheckIn ID you set up earlier, it will select that ID and you can close the window. If it does not find the ID then double check the instructions above on how to set this Default DRS User ID up.
  9. Set the Register number that you are installing the software on.
  10. Set the Installation Type as Master or Slave. Read the instructions carefully on picking this option. The Master/Slave designation indicates if this is the primary or a secondary installation of the BuyerKiosk Sync App. The Master copy performs most integration functions with DRS such as adding customers and adding buys. Do not specify more than one register as Master or multiple registers will try adding customers and buys at the same time when the customers check in. The Master copy performs several functions so be sure this is one of your better/faster POS registers.
  11. Leave the Printer Type to BK unless you did not purchase a printer from as part of your BuyerKiosk package. There are some limitations on printing to the register so be sure to leave the default setting of BK for the printer type if you purchased a printer as part of your BuyerKiosk package.
  12. If you filled in all of the information, the Submit button should be visible. Click it to install the App. Immediately after installing, the App will parse your historical records. Be sure to let that finish before you do anything else with the App.
  13. If you get any errors during the installation, open a support ticket using your browser and we’ll help with the installation.
