    Kiosk App Development Industry – Market Overview

    Kiosk software development is the creation of secure, single-purpose applications for self-service devices like tablets, payment terminals, and embedded hardware. These apps run in kiosk mode, integrate with peripherals, and are built for reliable, often offline, operation.

    Driven by the demand for self-service, automation, and seamless user experiences, the global kiosk software development market is on a steady rise:

    • $34.36B

      estimated in 2024

    • $62.46B

      projected to reach by 2030

    • 10.9%

      CAGR from 2025 to 2030

    With this growth comes the need for robust, reliable, and tailored solutions. At Stormotion, we build kiosk software and Android kiosk apps that run in kiosk mode, integrate with payment terminals, and provide seamless hardware connectivity – ensuring your devices perform flawlessly, whether online or offline.

    Our Process for Kiosk Application Development

    SHUFFLE THROUGH THE SLIDER. DRAG OR SWIPE

    • Discovery

      We align on vision, users and key self-service flows. Critically, we verify the device connection and validate the provided protocol – e.g. BLE/GATT, USB/serial, TCP/IP, OCPP or payment-terminal SDKs – with quick spike prototypes and logs.

    • Research & Design

      We design a clear, accessible user interface (interactive kiosk UX) with strong app development practices for real-world conditions - large touch targets, non-standard inputs, high-contrast, multilingual. Clickable prototypes map end-to-end flows, errors and offline states.

    • Tech Stack & Architecture

      We recommend the right approach – React Native with native modules or full native – plus Android dedicated devices (device owner) for kiosk mode. Offline-first data, background sync, printing/scanning SDKs and telemetry are planned up front.

    • Development

      As part of our custom kiosk software development process, we build custom kiosk software: launcher, app flows and hardware integrations. This includes payment terminal apps (Valina/PAX/Verifone), ESC/POS label/receipt printing, scanners, scales and remote config.

    • QA & Testing

      We run hardware-in-the-loop tests for connectivity, recovery and resilience. Performance, security and tamper checks, plus offline/poor-network scenarios and a device matrix ensure stable rollouts.

    • Deployment

      Staging review, signing and kiosk lockdown checklists. Rollout via MDM/EMM or OTA, with pilots and certifications where needed for payment terminals or EV charging setups.

    • Maintenance

      We handle updates, monitoring and fleet operations – crash analytics, remote logs, alerts and SLA-driven fixes. Data-driven iteration keeps your self-service kiosk software reliable and up-to-date, ensuring consistent customer service performance.

    How to Create a Kiosk Application: Case-based Guide

    How to Create a Kiosk Application: Case-based Guide

    Kiosk App Development - FAQ

    What is self-service kiosk software and how is Android kiosk mode enforced?

    Self-service kiosk software is a locked-down Android app for a single purpose. We enforce Android kiosk mode via a custom launcher and device owner app (lock task mode), implemented in native Kotlin/Java with allowlisting, disabled system UI and secured settings.

    What types of kiosk software do you specialize in developing?

    We focus on kiosk software development for self-service retail and QSR, grocery produce scales with computer vision, transportation and travel (bag-drop, ticketing, parking), check-in and identity, EV charging payment terminals, industrial HMI/control panels and payment-terminal apps on Android. As a kiosk application development company, we also build custom launchers and device-owner setups for dedicated devices.

    Can you build custom kiosk software for our existing hardware?

    Yes. We support Android tablets and payment terminals and integrate peripherals over BLE/USB/Serial/TCP-IP/GPIO. For the kiosk shell and hardware control we use native Kotlin, while companion mobile/tablet apps can share a React Native codebase with native modules. In Discovery we validate the provided protocol with a quick spike.

    Can the kiosk app work offline or with poor connectivity?

    Yes. We design offline-first: local storage, queued transactions, background sync and conflict handling. Health checks, retry strategies and graceful degradation keep the kiosk working, then it syncs when online.

    How do you manage fleets of devices and keep them secure?

    We use MDM/EMM for enrollment, remote config and OTA updates. Security includes device hardening, certificate pinning, encrypted storage and kiosk policy enforcement. Telemetry, logs and alerts help operate large fleets reliably.

    How do you ensure security and reliability, especially for transactions or sensitive data?

    Our kiosk software developers harden devices with device owner mode, allowlists and secure settings. We use encrypted storage, certificate pinning, signed builds and role-based access. For payments we follow vendor SDK and acquirer requirements, add audit logs and tamper checks and design offline-first with retries, idempotent APIs and health checks. This is standard in our kiosk software development services.

    Which payment terminals and methods do you support?

    We build payment terminal apps for unattended flows on devices like Worldline Valina, PAX and Verifone. Card, NFC, wallets and QR depend on vendor SDKs that we wrap via native modules. We implement refunds, reversals and ESC/POS receipts or labels, and support acquirer/vendor certifications.

    Do you support EV charging payment terminals and OCPP?

    Yes. We build Android apps for EV chargers with OCPP control – start/stop, tariffs and status – plus RFID/NFC or QR, on-device payments and receipts. Offline-first patterns keep sessions reliable with unstable networks.

    Can you integrate peripherals like scales, printers, scanners and cameras?

    Absolutely. We integrate ESC/POS thermal printers, label printers, barcode/QR scanners, scales, cameras and custom hardware via native Kotlin/Java SDKs. Where needed, we bridge C/C++ drivers via the NDK and provide robust reconnect and error handling.

    Can you add AI or computer vision for grocery produce recognition and similar use cases?

    Yes. We implement camera-based CV for produce recognition with barcode fallback, powered by custom app development. Models can run on-device for low latency, and we design the UX for fast selection, clear feedback and privacy.

    Can your kiosk software integrate with our existing systems (POS, CRM, inventory)?

    Yes. We integrate via REST/GraphQL APIs, webhooks or middleware with POS, CRM, ERP, inventory, payment gateways, PMS/EMR and even OCPP for EV charging. Data sync includes conflict handling and mapping. Unlike generic kiosk software development companies, we plan integrations during Discovery and validate them early with spike prototypes.

    What is your process and typical timeline for Android kiosk app development?

    Process: Discovery → Research & Design → Tech stack & architecture → Development → QA & testing → Deployment → Maintenance. Typical projects take 5 to 8 months. We choose React Native + native modules when you also need a mobile/tablet app, or full native Kotlin for low-performance devices or kiosk-critical control.

    How much does kiosk app development cost?

    We usually form a development unit: Full-time Fullstack engineers plus part-time QA, part-time UX/UI and part-time PM/Scrum Master. The unit costs 10k - 15k euro per month. Most projects take 5 - 8 months, so total is typically 50k - 120k euro. Scope factors include certifications, custom hardware, computer vision, OCPP or large-scale fleet ops.

    How do you make sure the software meets our specific business needs?

    We start with Discovery workshops, success metrics and acceptance criteria, then validate protocols and flows on-device. Clickable prototypes and pilot rollouts de-risk UX and edge cases. We instrument analytics for funnel tracking and iterate with you. This end-to-end approach is a hallmark of our kiosk software development practice.

    What post-deployment support and maintenance do you offer?

    We provide SLA-based support, monitoring and incident response, OTA updates via MDM/EMM, security patches and performance tuning. We handle device telemetry, remote logs and alerting, and we can train your team with runbooks and handover docs. As a long-term kiosk application development company, our kiosk software development services cover operations as well as new feature work.
