Install the POS layout designer

  • Article

You can use the one-click designer to design different Store Commerce app and Store Commerce for web layouts, in either Landscape mode or Portrait mode, for stores, registers, cashiers, and managers.

The graphical design interface for the Store Commerce app and Store Commerce for web is controlled by the till layout. A layout controls the position of various objects. Examples include the total layout, the item grid layout, the customer layout, the payment layout, and the layout of various menu buttons. Layouts also include the overall appearance of the sales interface that is presented to workers.
