Overview
Atrium is a cashless payment system for V5 MicroMarket kiosks primarily used on college campuses and is commonly referred to as a “student card”. The student card works in a declining balance model where it can be used like a debit card at any retailer interfaced to the Atrium Transaction Server. The card is normally funded through the university or an online portal managed by Atrium. Atrium makes use of existing student IDs which typically rely on a magnetic stripe for authentication. We will utilize our existing Apriva integration as the payment gateway to process Atrium transactions. Apriva already supports Atrium as a "processor" for student card transactions.
- An ID-Tech credit card reader must be used.
- ONE FUNDED and ONE UNFUNDED LIVE production Student ID cards must be sent to 365 Retail Markets for testing before an order can be shipped out.
- ONE FUNDED and ONE UNFUNDED LIVE production Student ID cards must be sent to 365 Retail Markets for testing before an order can be shipped out.
-
365 is not responsible for payment to the operator for Atrium locations. Operators will need to work with Atrium directly.
- Student Cards cannot be reloaded on the kiosk. This must be done through the university.
- Student card tender can be used alongside standard credit cards and GMA tenders.

Roles and Responsibilities
365 needs to work closely with Apriva, Atrium, and the University Operator to coordinate a successful implementation. Lead times to configure the interface are entirely dependent on the responsiveness of the operator and client (university) side resources. Shipping an Atrium kiosk can take anywhere from 1-8 weeks. The key stakeholders are:
- Sales
- Operator Contact
- 365 Fulfillment
- Atrium Administrator
- Client Network Administrator
- Implementation
- Project Manager
1. Sales
The Sales team communicates directly with the client and confirms they are ready to move forward with the Atrium integration. Operators must provide the 365 Sales team with the following:
- How many premium payments the university has and which ones need to be integrated with the kiosk.
- The text that will display for the premium payment button on the kiosk.
- TWO LIVE Production Student ID cards - one funded with $5 to $10 AND one unfunded.
2. Operator Contact
The Operator Contact coordinates client resources and sends student cards to the 365 Fulfillment team. The operator will need to work with the university’s Atrium Administrator and Apriva to get the specs needed to set up a kiosk using Atrium Premium Payment.
3. 365 Fulfillment
Once the Atrium specs are complete, Fulfillment will create Atrium terminal number(s) under each of the Apriva Device IDs created as well as enter the Tender Value for each.
4. Atrium Administrator
This is an admin generally employed by the university, who will configure the Atrium side of the interface, as well as provide 365 with the site-specific parameter values needed for communications.
5. Client Network Administrator
A network admin at the university may or may not be needed. The Atrium interface communicates over a specific port and IP address which may require a network expert on location.
6. Implementation
Stages and tests LIVE Production student cards on kiosks before shipping. Cards MUST return a positive transaction or they WILL NOT SHIP.
7. Project Manager
The Project Manager assists when needed during the process, from start to finish.
