Pair a customer-facing display

A customer-facing display (CFD) is a separate device — usually a small tablet facing the customer — that mirrors the current sale from a register. In Pedestal, a CFD is its own station of type Customer Display, provisioned much like a POS station.

Before you start

Have the POS station it will pair with already working.
Connect the display device to the same network as the register.

Steps

Create a Customer Display station — In Settings → Devices & Hardware, create a station and choose the Customer Display type.
Provision the display device — On the display tablet, open the display provisioning page and enter its code or install link, just like a POS station.
Install it to the home screen — Same as a register: Safari Share → Add to Home Screen on iPad, Chrome → Install app on Android.
Test with a sale — Ring items on the register and confirm they appear on the display as you add them.

Common mistakes

Provisioning the display with a POS station code instead of a Customer Display station.
Putting the display on guest Wi-Fi that isolates devices from each other.

Troubleshooting

The display shows nothing during a sale.

Confirm the display station belongs to the same location, refresh the display, and check the device's network connection.

When to contact support

The display pairs but consistently lags or drops during service.
