To set up your Front Desk Display, download the Mangomint app from the App Store on your iPad.

Open the Mangomint app on your iPad and tap **Front desk mode**. A 4-digit pairing code will be displayed.

On your computer/separate device, ensure you are logged in as an Admin user.

Open the **Settings** app and select** Payments & Checkout > Front Desk Displays**.

Select **Connect a display**.

Select **Enter pairing code**.

Enter the 4-digit pairing code shown on your iPad and select **Continue**.

If you have multiple locations, select the location(s) that will use this device and select **Continue**.

If the connection is successful, you will see a confirmation message.

Once you have successfully connected your Front Desk Display to your Mangomint account, connect your Bluetooth card reader to your iPad.

On your iPad, tap **Connect a bluetooth card reader**.

Tap **Connect a card reader**.

Turn on the card reader and make sure it's charged. Place the card reader close to your iPad and tap **Continue**.

Tap **Continue**.

The Mangomint app will search for available card readers. Once your card reader appears, tap **Connect**. If you see multiple card readers, select the one that matches your card reader's serial number. The serial number is printed on the back of the card reader.

If the card reader connection was successful, you will see the message below. Tap **Okay**.

Once your card reader is connected, [enable Kiosk Mode](/learn/setting-up-your-ipad-on-kiosk-mode/) on your iPad. Kiosk Mode ensures the iPad stays locked on the Mangomint app and restricts users from accessing other apps, settings, and device functionalities.
