  1. Open Settings → iPhone → Lock Screen and turn on Show on Lock Screen. The new show form has the same switch.
  2. Start a show. The card shows the app’s logo, the show’s name, date and hours, your booth and the location.
  3. Tap Scan to scan cards into the deal, or New deal to start a fresh one. Tap anywhere else to open Shows.
  • A countdown runs by itself: the time until the show opens, then the time left until your end time.
  • No money is ever on it: no sales, profit or deal count. A customer who sees your phone sees only the show.
  • It’s light or dark like the app (Settings → Appearance). At the top of the screen it’s always dark, with the logo, the show’s name and the time left.
  • Scan and New deal open the app, after Face ID if it’s locked. New deal asks first if a deal is in progress.
  • It appears an hour before the show opens, or when you open the app in that hour. At the end time it says the show is over.
  • End show takes it away at once. It never comes back after the end time, not even the next day. With no end time, it stays until you end the show.
  • iPhone keeps a card for up to 8 hours. On a long day, open the app and a new one starts.
