In this chapter we will go through how to connect your digital signage devices to Shoppa
The Director and the player devices must be connected to the same network.
Please see the system requirements below:

Add Director and Players
When the Director and Player devices are powered on and connected to the same network an ID will be displayed on the screen.
This ID will be used to connect your devices to your Shoppa account.
If your Shoppa client is connected to the same network as the Digital Signage devices you can restart Shoppa when the Director ID is displayed. This will automatically add the Director to your account.
If your computer is on another network or the process fails, please add the Director manually.
