Self-Checkout preferences control how customers pay at an unattended station and what they see while it's idle. To open them, go to the Register menu → Self Checkout Mode → Configure self-checkout preferences. Make your changes and tap Save.
The preferences are grouped into two sections: Payments and Screensaver.
Screensaver
The screensaver is the "tap to begin" screen customers see while the station is idle.
- Image — upload a custom background image. Tap Add Image to choose one (it changes to Update Image once set, with a Remove option). If you don't set one, the station uses a default farm photo.
- Message — an optional short message shown under your farm name on the screensaver, for example a greeting or today's hours.
Once you've set your preferences, see The Self-Checkout shopper experience for what customers see during a session.
Payments
Self-Checkout offers customers a deliberately limited set of payment methods. You control which ones appear:
-
Card Source — the single card reader customers use to pay by card. Choose one of the readers your farm has connected:
- Tap to Pay on iPhone (shown as Tap to Pay on other devices)
- Stripe Card Reader
- Fortis Card Reader
Only the source you pick is offered during a session, so customers see exactly one card button — not a choice of readers. Sources you haven't connected won't appear in the list.
-
Accept Cash — let customers pay with cash. When on, the station shows the amount of change due so the customer can make change from the drawer.
-
Accept Manual Payments — let customers record a manual payment (for example, a check or voucher).
Customers can always pay with Farm Credit if they connect their GrownBy account at the start of a session.
