The Team Members page lets you manage everyone who works at your store -- adding new people, assigning roles, setting up login access, managing clock PINs, and keeping track of employment details. This is also where you sync team data from external scheduling providers like WhenIWork.

Adding a New Team Member
Click Add Member to open the 3-step wizard.

Step 1: Basic Info
Step 1 of the Add Member wizard -- enter basic information and select a role.
Enter the new team member's details:
Field | Required | Description |

| Yes | 2-50 characters |

Click Next: Access to proceed.
Step 2: Access
Step 2 -- configure clock PIN and login access.

Choose one of two methods:
Send invitation email -- The team member receives an email and creates their own password. Requires an email address from Step 1.
Create credentials now -- You set the username and password directly. Use the generate button to create a random secure password.
Click Next to review, or Back to return to Step 1.
Step 3: Review

Setting Up Login Access
There are two ways to give a team member access to BuyerKiosk:
From the Add Wizard
During Step 2 of the add wizard, enable BuyerKiosk login and choose either the invitation or admin-created credentials method (described above).
From the Detail Modal
Open the team member's detail modal (Actions > Edit)
Go to the Access & Security tab
Toggle BuyerKiosk Login to ON
A setup modal will appear with two options:
Send Email Invitation -- Sends a link to the team member's email. They create their own password.
Create Credentials Now -- You enter a username and password. Optionally set a clock PIN at the same time.
Click
Enable Login Access
Customizing Roles
Click the Roles button in the header to open the role customization modal.
Here you can:
Rename roles -- Change the display name of any role (e.g., rename "Buyer" to "Appraiser")
Change colors -- Pick a new badge color for each role
Reorder roles -- Change the sort order using the Order column
Reset to Defaults -- Restore all roles to their original names and colors
Changes apply to all team members with that role across the store.
Default Roles
Role Value | Default Name | Typical Use |
0 | Employee | General staff |
1 | Owner | Store owner with full access |
2 | Manager | Store manager |
3 | Shift Lead | Shift supervisor |
4 | Buyer | Processes customer buys |
5 | Cashier | Handles register transactions |
Syncing from WhenIWork
If your store uses WhenIWork for scheduling, the Team Members page will show:
A Last sync timestamp showing when data was last pulled
A
Syncbutton to trigger a manual sync
During a sync, BuyerKiosk pulls the latest employee records from WhenIWork and updates names, emails, and status. Team members synced from WhenIWork show a green mobile icon in the Status column.
Tip: Synced team members cannot be created or deleted from BuyerKiosk -- manage them in WhenIWork instead. However, you can still set PINs, assign roles, and configure login access in BuyerKiosk.
Deactivating a Team Member
Click the
Actionsdropdown on the team member's rowSelect Deactivate
Confirm the deactivation
Deactivation is a soft delete -- the team member's record is preserved but they are removed from active lists and cannot log in. You can reactivate them later if needed.
To reactivate, filter the grid to show inactive members, then use the Actions menu to reactivate.
Troubleshooting
I cannot see the Add Member button
The Add Member button is disabled for stores that sync from WhenIWork. New members must be added in WhenIWork and then synced.
Verify your account has admin permissions.
A team member cannot log in after I created their credentials
Check that the team member's login is enabled in the Access & Security tab
Verify the username is correct (it is case-sensitive)
Try resetting the password from the Access & Security tab
Clock PIN is not working
PINs must be exactly 4-6 digits (numbers only)
Verify the PIN was saved (check the Access & Security tab for the green "PIN Set" badge)
Each PIN must be unique within the store
Sync button shows an error
Check that your WhenIWork integration is still connected (go to Integrations in the sidebar)
Try syncing again after a few minutes
If the error persists, contact support
