First Successful Session (Go-Live Checklist)

Use this checklist to confirm the booth is ready to serve customers.

Required System State

Before go-live, ensure:

  • Photobooth App is installed and launches correctly on the booth PC.
  • Camera is detected and preview/capture work.
  • Printer is detected and test prints succeed (if you use printing).
  • Active project is loaded (correct frames, filters, and flow).
  • Network is stable so the app can sync the project and upload sessions.
  • Subscription is active for this device.

End-to-End Verification Steps

  1. Launch the app and confirm the welcome screen and project branding appear.
  2. Run one full session as a guest: welcome → (optional) payment → capture → selection → result.
  3. Trigger a print (if applicable) and confirm the output is correct (layout, size, quality).
  4. Check upload — After the session, confirm in the dashboard that the session appears (gallery or transactions) and media uploaded if expected.
  5. Repeat with a second test session to rule out one-off issues.

Common Mistakes Before Go-Live

  • Wrong project active — Verify the correct project is selected for this booth in the dashboard and that the app has synced (e.g. after a recent change).
  • Printer “Ready” but no print — Run a test print from the app or Windows; check paper size and default layout in Windows printer settings.
  • Camera not detected — Ensure the camera is plugged in before starting the app; check Windows device manager and that no other app is exclusively using the camera.
  • Offline or unstable network — The app may not load the latest project or upload sessions; fix connectivity before opening.
