Make Idle Kiosks Feel Like In-Store Signage
Use full-screen idle screensavers to turn quiet kiosk time into a branded in-store display.
Store Check-In now includes a full-screen idle screensaver setting for merchants who want the kiosk to work more like in-store signage when shoppers are not touching it.
The control is small, but it helps once a kiosk is live.
Turn idle screens into store displays
A kiosk is still part of the store when no one is using it.
When no one is interacting with it, the screen can look paused, or it can work as in-store signage.
When enabled, screensaver imagery can fill the display. The message and controls stay on the idle screen, while the image gets an edge-to-edge treatment.
Use it for:
- Branded campaign artwork
- Seasonal promotions
- Product photography
- Event or market displays
Choose the right image treatment
Full-screen layout is not the best choice for every image.
It works well for photography and artwork that can crop without losing important details. It is less useful for flyers, menus, diagrams, or graphics where every edge needs to stay visible.
That is why merchants can choose the layout. Use full-screen presentation when the kiosk should feel like a store display. Keep the contained layout when the whole image needs to stay visible.
Existing stores can preserve their current behavior unless they choose to change it.
Use idle time as part of the store experience
Good kiosk screensavers connect to the store around them.
A coffee shop might show subscription artwork while customers wait in line. A beauty store might show a seasonal consultation campaign. A market booth might show pickup instructions or a featured collection.
To test it, choose one image that already belongs in the store, enable full-screen presentation, and place the kiosk where shoppers naturally see it before tapping.
Better after launch
Store Check-In should keep helping after setup.
The full-screen screensaver setting helps the live kiosk look more finished in the store without asking merchants to rethink the whole kiosk.
If you already use Store Check-In, review your screensaver settings and decide whether full-screen imagery fits your assets.
