Bridging Online Ease with In-Store Engagement

In traditional cannabis retail, the Customer Facing Display, or Second Screen, has typically served as a static, passive showcase. Shoppers could view available products but couldn’t interact directly, leading to slow checkouts, communication errors, and missed upsell opportunities. 

Sweed’s Customer Facing Display transforms this experience by merging the interactivity of online shopping with the tactile, compliant nature of in-store sales. 

‍

What Is the Customer Facing Display? 

The Customer Facing Display is an interactive customer-facing display that syncs directly with the Sweed POS. It gives customers control, visibility, and engagement during their in-store journey, without compromising compliance or budtender efficiency. 

Key capabilities include: 

  • Add-to-Cart Functionality: Shoppers can tap to add items directly to their cart from promotions, menus, or product detail pages. 
  • Real-Time Order Management: Customers can adjust quantities, remove products, and view totals instantly, with updates mirrored to the cashier’s interface. 
  • Integrated Promotions: Deals and discounts appear dynamically, encouraging upsells and larger baskets. 
  • Personalization: Linked customer accounts display names, loyalty savings, and messages for a tailored shopping experience. 
  • Seamless Compliance: Every interaction syncs with the POS to maintain regulatory accuracy and operational control.

Designed for Efficiency and Growth 

The Customer Facing Display empowers both customers and dispensary teams by simplifying transactions and amplifying engagement. 

Benefits include: 

  • Reduced friction: Faster checkouts and fewer communication errors. 
  • Higher average order value: Visual deals and intuitive upsells drive incremental revenue. 
  • Operational efficiency: Budtenders can focus more on service and product education rather than manual entry. 
  • Enhance loyalty: Personalized messaging and dynamic promotions encourage repeat visits.
