This guide walks you through how to build and connect layouts in the Admin Center so your POS becomes faster, clearer, and tailored to how you actually sell. The goal is to help you create an intuitive flow where staff can quickly find items and navigate between screens.
Step 1:
Create a new layout that will act as the foundation for how items are displayed in POS. You define the structure and start building buttons that represent your products.
