If new orders come in and you don't see this instant alert, this is usually because it's being blocked by a certain setting. Here are the settings to check on:

1. Enable the In-Store Merchant App Notification Settings.

  • On your device's In-Store Merchant App, tap on the menu icon found on the upper lefthand corner of the screen.

  • Tap on Settings.

  • Turn on the Notification setting to receive full-page alerts.

  • If your Draw Over Apps setting hasn't been enabled yet, you will receive a pop-up prompt to do so, leading you to your device's App Settings. Tap on the App Settings button and enable the In-Store Merchant App to draw over other apps.

2. Enable Notifications for the In-Store Merchant App through your device's App Settings.

  • Go to the Settings > Apps.
