Settings - Employee PINs

As part of your store's management team, you can assign employees PINs for frequently shared devices. The ShadowPOS PIN system minimizes the guesswork by ensuring each team member's actions are appropriately logged at various stages of the checkout process. Each predesignated PIN device will prompt users in-line with security policies set on this page

Visit Settings > Employee PINS

When the Employee PIN system is activated on a device, all store members will be required to authenticate their identity to proceed with certain actions until the system is deactivated or the device being used is revoked.
