To start working in the POS, you need to link your screens (phones, tablets) to the location. Also, some of the settings on the screens page allow you to tune this screen and use it the way you need.

Note: Before linking a screen, you need first to install the unTill Air app. For more information on how to install the app, .

Link a screen to the location

The steps of linking a screen depend on the method you want to use and the capabilities of your device. If you want to link the screen with a camera, you can do this through the QR code. If you want to link the screen without a camera, you need to do that through the link.

To link your screen to the location, please follow these steps:

Follow the described steps in the Back Office any other device, you can use a PC, laptop, phone, or tablet from which the screen you want to link will be able to read a QR code.

Follow the steps described in the Back Office on the same screen you want to link. Open the browser, log in to the Back Office of your location, and proceed.

  1. Navigate to Equipment in the Back Office.

  2. Click 'Add new equipment'.

  3. Select 'Screen'.

  4. Choose the sales mode for your screen, whether Table plan or Direct sales.

Note: Different sales modes (Table plan and Direct sales) are available only in the case of the Food & Drinks selected when onboarding (mostly for hospitality businesses). If you selected the Retail location type, then you will not see a choice between different sales modes as Table plan is not available in Retail.

For more information regarding the sales modes in unTill Air, .

  1. Give a name to your screen.

The last step depends on the method of linking a screen you use:

  • On the screen, open the unTill Air app.

  • Tap on the 'Link screen' button.

Note: Before using a camera for reading a QR code, you need to allow the app to use the camera. Without this permission, it's impossible to link the screen using a QR code.

  • Using the camera, scan the QR code displayed in the Back Office of another device.

In the Back Office on the screen you wish to link to the location, tap on the 'Link screen' button. Once it's done, your screen is linked to the location.

Now, your screen is linked to the location and you can run the POS on it.

Manage screen settings

When adding a screen in unTill Air, only essential settings are shown. By default, digital bills are the primary method for delivering bills to customers, but this can be adjusted in the Back Office if needed.

To modify screen settings in the Equipment section, double-click the screen line. This will display the relevant settings for you to adjust.

Here, you can modify the receipt settings and assign payment terminals to this particular screen.

The receipt setting defines whether you work with digital bills or printed bills or combine both approaches.

  • By selecting 'Show a QR code' after each payment in the POS, a pop-up will display a QR code and an email field. Customers can scan the QR code to view their bill or request to send the bill via email.

  • By selecting the 'Print to (printer's name)' option to automatically print bills on the designated printer after each POS transaction.

  • By selecting the 'Show a QR code' option and having at least one bill printer at the location enables you to offer both digital and printed bills.

Also, you can assign the relevant payment terminals to this screen if needed. In the 'terminals' field select the desired terminal for this screen.

For more information regarding the cash drawer in the settings of the screen, .

Tip: As long as you have the payment terminal added to the location, you can assign it to your screen in the pop-up that appears after the linking of the device or from the screen editing page. For details on how to do this, .
