The POS customer display screen is intended for the customer to view their orders while their cart items are being entered into the cash register. The Storefront POS is web-based. This means the screen can be operated on any Android, IOS or Windows tablet as long as you can browse to the Web page. You may prefer a tablet with a smaller screen.

Secure tablet on the counter

Your POS device should be properly secured to the counter to prevent theft. There are numerous anti-theft kiosk stands for sale that will fit nicely with your store's design.

Device permission

You will want to set up a device passcode (screen lock) to access the tablet. Cashiers should only be allowed to use the tablet, but should not be allowed to install new apps.

Android and IOS

1. Create a passcode (screen lock) to secure your tablet. Please note, the device passcode is only used to unlock the device. Share the device passcode with your cashiers, but do not share the account password.

Windows

Web permission
