Display a message to the customer

When the point of sale (POS) needs to display a custom message to the customer, use the /v1/device/display endpoint.

Prerequisites

• POS is connected to the device using a network or cloud connection.
• Clover device is idle; that is, no payment is being taken.

Steps

1. Construct a request with the minimum required data—the text field.

{
    "text": "A message to be displayed to the customer on the Clover device",
    "beep": false
}

2. Send a POST request to the /v1/device/display endpoint.
3. Required. Include the required headers for your request.
   The message displays on the device, and an empty JSON object is returned.

The message displays on the screen until you take another action. There is no automatic timeout. See Display the welcome screen for instructions to display the default idle screen or take other appropriate action.
