# Display the thank you screen
[block:html]
{
"html": "\n\n\n"
}
[/block]
When a transaction is complete, the point of sale (POS) can display a farewell message to the customer using the [`/v1/device/thank-you`](https://docs.clover.com/reference/show_thank_you) endpoint.
> 🚧 IMPORTANT
>
> It is important to end each customer transaction with either a [Welcome](https://docs.clover.com/docs/showing-the-welcome-screen) or Thank You screen. Otherwise, the spinning icon will display on the screen until another action is taken.
## Prerequisites
The POS is connected to the device using a [network](https://docs.clover.com/docs/configuring-a-local-connection) or [cloud](https://docs.clover.com/docs/configuring-a-cloud-connection) connection.
## Steps
1. Send an empty POST request to the [`/v1/device/thank-you`](https://docs.clover.com/reference/show_thank_you) endpoint.
2. Required. Include the [required headers](https://docs.clover.com/docs/api-tutorials#required-request-data) for your request.\
The thank you screen displays on the device, and an empty JSON object is returned.

}

The thank you message displays on the screen until you take another action. There is no automatic timeout. See [Display the welcome screen](https://docs.clover.com/dev/docs/showing-the-welcome-screen) for instructions to display the default idle screen.
