Names like these, in green, are pages inside your ArmPOS shop. Sign in to your shop to open them.

A customer display is a second screen facing the customer: a tablet, a monitor or an old phone that shows the items as you ring them up, with the total. By the end you will have it open on the screen and linked to your till.

Get the display's address

  1. Open Sales › Customer Screen. The Customer Display Configuration page opens.
  2. Click Generate New Token. A Display URL appears, with one address per screen under Multiple Displays (Screen 1 to Screen 5) and a QR Code.
  3. Open the address on the display. Type it, click Copy and send it to the device, or scan the QR Code with the device's camera.
The Customer Display Configuration page after Generate New Token: the Display URL with its Copy button, and the Multiple Displays list starting with Screen 1 and Screen 2. The token in the addresses is hidden here.
Each address carries a token: whoever has it can see the display. The token is hidden in this picture.
Multiple Displays with Screen 1 to Screen 5, each with Copy and a QR button, and the QR Code to scan, blurred in this picture because it carries the token.
One address per screen. Point each till at its own screen number.

On the POS, click Display in the top bar and pick the same screen number, for example Screen 1. From then on, what you add to that till's cart appears on that display, with the total, and it updates as you go.

With two tills and two displays, give each till its own screen number.

Keep it safe

  • A token lasts 24 hours. When it runs out, the display stops: generate a new one and open the new address on the display.
  • Generate New Token at any time replaces the old one, which stops working at once. Do it if an address was shared with the wrong person.

If the display doesn't connect, check it is on the internet and that you used the whole address, token included.
