Customer Facing Display
Sharing the checkout experience with Customer Facing Display (CFD) is made possible by connecting a secondary display to Hub. This is the recommended setup for optimal performance. If you're not using Hub to connect your secondary display, however, any secondary display (e.g. monitor) or device (e.g iPad) with a web browser is compatible as well. You can set it up in Retail POS under Devices.
