For the touch cash register you can buy the so-called Customer display, which can either be another tablet with a special application installed to display commercial images and videos, or a simplified two-line display on a stand. If the account is active, the charged items and total sum are also displayed. The customer can see which goods have been charged and the total sum.
Prior to setting the customer display in Dotypos, first activate the function customer display in the touch cash register and then configure the second tablet to be used as the customer display. You will find the sequence in this chapter. |
If your customer display is set up correctly in both the touch cash register and in the tablet showing the customer display, you can start uploading media and creating the playlist, where you define for how long and in which order the images should be visible on the customer display. You can create one playlist for each cash register.
