Displays and device setup

Open Displays to connect a physical screen or browser to the business. Each device receives its own access, while its appearance and workflow are managed from Finta Business.

Prerequisites

You are signed in to the correct business and have permission to manage the relevant display type.
The device has an up-to-date browser and a stable internet connection.
Menu Board has active products and categories.
Advertising Display has approved images under Media.
Card payments in Kiosk or POS have a verified SumUp integration and a paired card reader.
Vipps payments have an active, verified Vipps integration.
Employees who use POS have a unique six-digit POS code.

What you will learn

what the six display types are used for
how to connect a new device with a QR code or pairing code
the difference between shared settings and settings for one device
how to assign a card reader, reconnect, and troubleshoot status

Choose the right display type

Display type	Use
Kitchen Display	Shows new orders as work cards and moves them through New, Preparing, and Ready.
Kiosk	Lets customers place an order or make a booking themselves. Available functionality depends on the business’s industry.
POS	Used by employees for sales, payments, and receipts. Requires sign-in with a POS code.
Menu Board	Shows categories, products, and prices on a TV or information display.
Advertising Display	Rotates approved images and can show active campaigns.
Order Status Board	Shows order numbers under Preparing and Ready, without customer names, phone numbers, or line items.

Connect a new device

Open Displays in Finta Business.
Find the card for the display type you want to use.
Select Connect new device.
Enter a recognizable Device name, such as “Entrance kiosk” or “Kitchen 1.”
Optionally add a Location.
For Kiosk or POS, you can select an available Card reader now or do so later.
Select Connect.
Open the displayed link on the screen device and enter the pairing code. If the device has a camera, you can scan the QR code instead.
Wait for Finta.no to confirm that the device is connected, then open the display.

The pairing code is temporary access information. Do not share the code or QR image publicly. Select Generate new code if it expires.

The pairing is stored in the browser on the screen device. If browser data is cleared, you will normally need to pair the device again.

Understand the two settings levels

Level	Where	Affects
Shared for the display type	The cog on the card	All devices of that type
One specific device	Device menu → Display settings	Only the selected Menu Board, Advertising Display, or Order Status Board

Shared settings

Kiosk: welcome text and background, Card/Vipps, tips, order type, digital receipt, coupon field, inactivity limit, and screen saver.
Kitchen Display: which order channels appear, sound for new orders, and when an order is considered delayed.
POS: Card/Vipps/Cash, receipt as print/email/none, and the default Eat in or Takeaway choice.
Menu Board: grid or list, light or dark theme, text size, images, prices, and hiding sold-out items.
Advertising Display: transition between slides and QR code for ordering.
Order Status Board: has no shared cog settings; settings are saved per device.

Settings for one device

Menu Board: choose the rotation time and categories. If no categories are selected, all categories are shown.
Advertising Display: choose the rotation time, approved images from Media, and whether to show active campaigns.
Order Status Board: choose how long completed orders remain under Ready, and whether the display plays a sound.

Connect a card reader to Kiosk or POS

First connect the SumUp card reader to the business under Payments → SumUp.
Return to Displays.
Open the menu on the paired Kiosk or POS device.
Select Choose card reader.
Select an active reader and save.
Run a controlled test payment.

One card reader can be assigned to only one screen device at a time. An expired reader must be paired again before it can be selected.

Status and device actions

Waiting for pairing: the device has been created, but the code has not yet been used.
Online: the display has been active within the last few minutes.
Offline: the device is paired but has not contacted Finta.no recently.
Never connected: the device has not reported any activity.

From the device menu, you can open the display, change the card reader when relevant, change device settings, select Reconnect, or Remove access.

Reconnect invalidates the old access immediately. The display may go blank until the new code is used. Remove access takes effect immediately. To use the display again, open the menu for the existing device and select Reconnect.

Troubleshooting

The code does not work

check that the entire code was entered
generate a new code if the current one has expired or already been used
check the internet connection on both the administration device and the display

The display is shown as offline

reload the display page
check that browser data has not been cleared
check power, network, and whether the device is in sleep mode
reconnect if the display returns to the code screen

check active products and categories for Menu Board
check that images are approved under Media for Advertising Display
check which categories or images are selected in the device’s Display settings
for campaigns, check that the campaign is active and visible in the widget, and that Show active campaigns is enabled

check the provider status under Payments
check that the correct card reader is assigned to the correct device
check that the employee is using their own active six-digit POS code
