What do you see in the demo and under Try it yourself?

Answer

The demo shows your own POS on real screens side by side, with tasks that tick off automatically; it is only there as long as your shop is in demo mode. Try it yourself opens a device in a practice copy of your shop, even if you are already live. In both, nothing counts.

Where to find it

Explanation

The demo opens in a window over the dashboard. On the left or at the top are the screens (POS and, if they fit your business, handheld, kitchen screen, receipt and payment terminal), on the right the Tasks. Close the window with Close. Try it yourself sets up a copy of your shop the first time; after that you see the chosen device with what works together with it, and on the right How it works.
