Setting up the New Customer Display

March 19, 2024


Hardware requirements:
To use ERPLY's new Customer Display app, one must have an additional screen. Usually, that would be a tablet computer.

Setup

Navigate to POS Settings -> Plugins -> Customer display and select Configure plugin. Under the category Pass phrase, click on Generate channel code

This will generate a unique channel code that you must insert into the code field on the customer display screen. Press Start to begin using Erply Customer Display.

Configure the Customer Display Plugin

The default configuration of the Customer Display allows users to start using the integration by just entering the channel code to the Customer Display code field. With more settings, the user can achieve the full potential of the Customer Display service. A quick overview follows.

The customer display offers a wide variety of features to use. All the features of the Customer Display are customizable from the Customer Display plugin page. After customizing the settings, the Customer Display plugin will require a restart to apply the settings. Simply turn off the plugin then turn it on again.

Customer creation form

Customer creation configuration is a simple checkbox system used to configure the fields. The Customer Display will receive the customer creation form according to the set configuration. 
For example: selecting First name and Last name will only display named fields in the customer creation form.

Text fields are configurable.

Workflow configuration

The preset after-sale workflows are as listed: 

  • Show email input
  • Show QR code with receipt link
  • Show QR code with a custom link

All of the text that is present in the Customer Display is configurable from the configuration page. Some of the fields are set with variables from the POS, while others are static text that can be changed to anything one desires. 
After configuring, it's important to save the configurations by clicking on SAVE CONFIG.

Creating a product for donation

A donation product is mandatory to collect tips/donations from the customer and needs to follow the criteria:

  • Non-refundable
  • Zero priced
  • Not discountable

After the donation product has been created, a search for the designated donation product is possible. Click on "SEARCH" to reveal the list of all products. If the product couldn't meet the criteria set for the donations, product selection is not possible. An indicator showing the currently selected product acting as a donation is also visible.
