Shopfront supports showing the current sale to the customer through the use of a customer-facing display. This is typically set up 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 located at the top left of your sales screen.

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, it is likely because the customer display is currently being cast. If the icon is not visible but the customer display is unavailable, you may need to apply the settings below.

1. Select Menu
2. Select Setup
3. Select General
4. Select Registers and choose the register you want to enable
5. Scroll down to the Registers section and toggle on Open customer display when register opens
   (Repeat these steps if you want to enable the customer display on other registers)
6. Select Save

You should now see a red flashing screen in the top left of your register.

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
