In Agile, the Terminal Key assigns a unique ID to a terminal (i.e. computer or POS station). In order to sell or print tickets in Agile Sales and POS, a Terminal Key must be used to assign a terminal to the machine they are using to process sales functions. Within the properties of a terminal, you may also associate any necessary ticket printers, cash drawers, or other devices with your Box Office setup.
NOTE: Most users do not have the permissions to assign (i.e. create) a completely new terminal and terminal key. If you need a new terminal key, please contact our support team at support@agiletix.com or 615.360.6700.
