+Digital labels
+==============
+
+Digital labels allow you to display product information like prices and barcodes on store shelves
+and to synchronize them remotely from the backend. This removes the need to print new labels when
+product information changes.

+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+Pricer setup
+------------
+
+#. `Get in touch with Pricer <https://www.pricer.com/contact>`_ to create and configure your Pricer
+   account.
+#. Create your stores: one pricer store equates to one physical store.
+#. Link as many transceivers as needed to the Pricer store(s).
+#. Create the following variables to share product information between your Odoo database system and
+   Pricer. These variables act like placeholders on the label template.
+
+   - `itemId`: this holds the unique internal identifier assigned to each product
+   - `itemName`: the actual name of the product
+   - `price`: the selling price of the product, including any applicable taxes
+   - `presentation`: the template name used in Pricer for displaying the product information on the
+     label
+   - `currency`: the currency of your company (e.g., USD, EUR)
+   - `barcode`: the barcode number associated with each product
+
+   .. important::
+      The names for these variables must be **identical** in your Pricer database.
+
+#. Create a template named `NORMAL`. This template is used to display information on your digital
+   tags.
+
+Once your account, stores, variables, and template are configured on Pricer, you can proceed with
+the setup of your Odoo database.
+
+.. important::
+   The account associated with your Pricer store must have access to send API requests to Pricer.
+
+Odoo setup
+----------
+
+As a pre-requisite, :ref:`activate <general/install>` the :guilabel:`POS Pricer` module *(technical
+name: pos_pricer)* to have all the required features to use Pricer electronic tags.
+
+.. image:: digital_labels/pricer-module.png
+   :alt: Installing POS Pricer module from Apps
+
+Once the module is activated, configure your :ref:`pricer stores <pricer_tags/stores>` and associate
+:ref:`Pricer tags <pricer_tags/tags>` with your products.
+
+.. _pricer_tags/stores:
+
+Pricer stores
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Similarly to the configuration in Pricer, you need to create one pricer store per physical location.
+To do so, go to :menuselection:`Point of Sale --> Configuration --> Pricer Stores`, click
+:guilabel:`New`, and fill in the line with the required information:
+
+- :guilabel:`Store Name`: you can put any name of your liking.
+- :guilabel:`Pricer Tenant Name`: the name of your company account in Pricer, usually followed by
+  `-country_code`. This value is provided by Pricer.
+- :guilabel:`Pricer Login`: the login of your Pricer account.
+- :guilabel:`Pricer Password`: the password of your Pricer account.
+- :guilabel:`Pricer Store ID`: the ID of the related Pricer store as defined on your Pricer
+  database.
+
+.. image:: digital_labels/pricer-stores-setup.png
+   :alt: Configuring a Pricer Store
+
+.. note::
+   - The :guilabel:`Pricer Tags` column is updated automatically when a label is linked to a
+     product.
+   - The :guilabel:`Last Update` and :guilabel:`Last Update Status` columns are updated
+     automatically when the tags are updated.
+
+.. _pricer_tags/tags:
+
+Pricer tags
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For a label to display specific product information, the label needs to be associated with the
+product. To do so:
+
+#. Open the product form by going to :menuselection:`Point of Sale --> Products --> Products` and
+   clicking :guilabel:`New` or selecting an existing product.
+
+   .. note::
+      If you are creating a new product, configure and save it before associating any Pricer tags.
+
+#. Go to the :guilabel:`Sales` tab, scroll to the :guilabel:`Pricer` section, and select the
+   corresponding :guilabel:`Pricer Store`.
+
+   .. image:: digital_labels/pricer-product.png
+      :alt: Linking Pricer tags to products
+      :scale: 75%
+
+#. Fill in the :guilabel:`Pricer tags ids` field by copying the label's ID from the label itself or
+   scanning its barcode.
+
+   .. note::
+      Pricer tag IDs are composed of a letter followed by 16 digits.
+
+.. tip::
+   - We recommended using a barcode scanner to speed up the encoding process.
+   - When setting up Pricer with Odoo for the first time, it is recommended that you configure only
+     one product first. Before configuring more products, ensure you can display their information
+     on a Pricer tag.
+
+Now that you have a product associated with a Pricer tag, we can send its information to Pricer.
+
+Practical application
+---------------------
+
+Odoo automatically sends requests to Pricer to synchronize the tags every 12 hours if you make any
+modifications to:
+
+   - Product name, price, barcode, or customer taxes
+   - Currency
+   - Associated Pricer store or Pricer tags
+
+To force the update, activate the :ref:`developer mode <developer-mode>`. Then:
+
+#. Go to :menuselection:`Point of Sale --> Configuration --> Pricer Store`.
+#. Select the desired store(s).
+#. Click :guilabel:`Update tags` to update all tags affected by changes to:
+
+   - Product name, price, barcode, or customer taxes
+   - Currency
+   - Associated Pricer store or Pricer tags
+
+Alternatively, click :guilabel:`Update all tags` to force the update of every tag, regardless of
+whether changes were made.
+
+.. image:: digital_labels/update-all.png
+   :alt: Update all Pricer tags
+
+If Pricer has processed and accepted the request, the status field shows :guilabel:`Update
+successfully sent to Pricer`. If there is any issue, the system displays an error message.
+
+.. warning::
+   If a request sent to Pricer fails, Odoo still considers that the product has been updated. In
+   that case, we recommend forcing the update of all tags.
