Stations let you set up more than one work location in the same CleanCloud account. For example, you can have a front counter and a processing area, each with its own printers, scale, and cash drawer.
Each station keeps its own hardware settings. Changing a printer on one station doesn’t change it on another.
How stations work
Every account has at least one station, called Station 1 by default.
If your account has more than one station, CleanCloud shows Choose your station when you sign in. Select a station and then select Continue.
The current station shows at the top left of the Hardware page, under Station.
All the settings on the Hardware page belong to the current station: receipt printer, garment tag printer, heat seals, label printer, cash register, barcode scanner, weight scale, customer facing screen, payment terminal, and laundry cards.
You can add as many stations as you need, but we recommend only adding the ones you use.
How to add a station
Go to More > Hardware.
Select the station name at the top left, under Station.
Select Add Station.
Enter a Station name, for example, “Main counter”.
To start from an existing setup, choose a station under Copy settings from. To set it up from scratch, leave it on Don’t copy settings.
Select Add Station.
Then set up the hardware for the new station. Each device section has its own
settings. See Hardware Settings.
Tip: Use Copy settings from when a new station will use similar equipment. You then only change what’s different.
How to switch stations
You can switch stations in two ways.
When you sign in:
Sign in to CleanCloud.
On Choose your station, select your station.
Select Continue.
After you sign in:
Go to More > Hardware.
Select the station name at the top left.
Select the station you want. The current station has a check mark.
The page switches to that station straight away. You don’t need to save.
Driver App payments by station
You can assign payments taken in the Driver App to a station, for example to keep your cash up reports accurate.
Go to More > Store Settings > Pickup and Delivery > Driver App.
Next to Station To Assign Payment, choose a station, or choose None.
Select Save.
See Driver App Settings.

Plant mode stations: used in larger operations. See Plant Mode.
Cleaning process stations: areas such as ironing, folding, or detailing on the Machines page. See Folding and ironing sections in CleanCloud.

Yes. Set it up on each station that needs it. A printer connected through QZ Tray has to be set up on the computer it’s connected to. See How to set up QZ Tray.
