## What Is the Customer-Facing Display?
The Customer-Facing Display is a second screen that sits on the counter facing your customer. It's paired to your POS terminal and mirrors what's happening in the cart — every item added, every price, and the running total — all in real time.
When no order is being processed, the display can show your own posters or promotional images on a rotating carousel, turning the idle screen into a mini advertisement board for your shop.

### Why do you need it?
Without a customer-facing display, your customers are staring at the back of your POS screen while your staff rings them up. They can't see what's being charged until they get a receipt — and by then, it's too late to catch mistakes.
With a Customer-Facing Display:
- **Customers see what they're paying for.** Every item and price appears on their screen as it's added — building trust and reducing disputes.
- **Mistakes get caught early.** If a wrong item or price shows up, the customer can flag it before checkout is completed.
- **Your idle screen works for you.** When no order is active, the display rotates through your promotional posters or media — free advertising right at the counter.
- **It's simple to set up.** Just a second device, the EasyBiz POS app, and a 6-digit code to pair them.

## Before You Start
- A **tablet or phone** to use as the customer-facing display (a separate device from your POS terminal).
- The **EasyBiz POS app** installed on **both** devices — your POS terminal and the display device.
- Both devices should be connected to the internet.

### Pair from Your POS Terminal
1. On your **POS device**, tap the Customer Screen icon in the toolbar.
2. Click on Re-pair Device.
3. Input the 6-digit code provided from the EasyBiz POS Mobile App.
That's it — your two devices are now connected!
### Choose What to Show on the Display
After pairing, you can pick the display mode from the same POS panel:
| Display mode | What it shows |
| --- | --- |
| Order Review | The customer's cart in real time — items, prices, and totals update live as your staff adds items. |
| Idle (Poster Carousel) | Your configured media or promotional posters, shown on a rotating carousel when no order is active. |

## How Your Staff Will Use It
Once paired, the customer-facing display works automatically in the background:
1. **During checkout:** As your staff adds items to the cart on the POS, the customer sees each item appear on their screen — with the item name, price, and a running total at the bottom.
2. **Between orders:** When the cart is empty and no order is active, the display switches to the poster carousel, rotating through your promotional images.
3. **No extra taps needed.** Your staff don't need to do anything differently — they just use the POS as normal and the display updates on its own.

## FAQs
**How do I re-pair the display later (e.g., after a restart)?**
> Tap the **Customer Screen** icon on your POS and select **Re-pair Device**. Then follow the same pairing steps — get the code from the display, enter it on the POS.
**Can I use any device as the customer display?**
> Yes — any tablet or phone that can run the EasyBiz POS app will work. A tablet is recommended for a better viewing experience.
**What if my display device is running an older version of the app?**
> A **QR code** option will also appear on the POS pairing panel as an alternative to the 6-digit code. You can use either method to pair.
**Do both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi?**
> Both devices need an internet connection, but they don't necessarily need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. The pairing works over the internet.
Position the display device at an angle where customers can comfortably see it while standing at the counter. A small tablet stand works great for this.
