Shopfront supports showing the current sale to the customer through the use of a customer facing display. This is typically setup as a screen mounted on the opposite side of your display.

Open the Customer Display

The customer display can be opened from the menu or from the screen icon at the top left of your sales screen. Shopfront can also automatically open the customer display on start up. 

Use the Screen Icon to Open the Customer Display

The flashing red stylised display icon at the top of the screen triggers the casting options dialogue box from anywhere in Shopfront. If this is not visible, the customer display is currently being casted. If the icon is not visible but the customer display is unavailable, it will need to be started from the menu, or a customer display template needs to be selected from Setup. 

Use the Menu to open the Customer Display

1. Navigate to Menu > Register
2. Click on Open Customer Display
3. A dialogue box on the right-hand side of the screen will open, on here select which screen to cast the Customer Display on

Select a Customer Display Template in Setup

Multiple customer display templates can be created and modified. By default a standard template will be selected for each register. It is possible to select a different template for registers if multiple templates exist. 

1. Navigate to Menu > Setup > General
2. Search for "Customer Display" by typing into the text box
3. Select a register
4. Click on the selection box under Customer Display Template
5. Select a template from the dropdown menu
6. Click Save to finalise and apply the changes

Note; To create or modify templates please see the linked article on Customer Display Setup.

1. Navigate to Menu > Setup > General
2. Search for "Open Customer Display" by typing into the text box
