Digital Price Tags Setup

The Digital Tags Setup process in Appliance.io walks you through everything needed to install, configure, and connect your Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) — from ordering hardware and activating gateways to pairing tags with your inventory.
It’s designed to make your in-store pricing accurate, wireless, and effortless.

To begin, open the sidebar and click Settings.
Scroll down to find the Digital Price Tags section.

At the top of the Digital Tags page, you’ll find these tabs:

The Digital Tags Setup includes six main phases:

Each phase guides you through simple steps to deploy your tags confidently and efficiently.

Digital tags are powered by Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) — small wireless displays that show product prices, descriptions, and barcodes. They automatically sync with your AIO platform, replacing traditional paper price tags.

Manufacturer: Minew
