This guide explains how branding works on Trikome displays, including the watermark behavior on Free plans and customization options for Premium subscribers.
Overview
Every Trikome display includes branding elements. What appears depends on your subscription:
| Plan | Watermark |
|---|---|
| Free | "Trikome" watermark always visible |
| Premium | Watermark can be hidden |
Free Plan Watermark
On the Free plan, a small "Trikome" watermark appears in the corner of all displays:
- Location: Bottom corner of the screen
- Appearance: Subtle but visible
- Removal: Not possible on Free plan
The watermark is unobtrusive and doesn't interfere with your menu content. Many businesses run Free displays without issues.
Why the Watermark Exists
The Free plan is supported by the watermark — it helps more dispensaries discover Trikome. In exchange, you get:
- Full menu functionality
- One device
- One store
- No credit card required
Premium Branding Options
Premium subscribers can hide the watermark:
- Go to Settings in your store dashboard
- Find the Branding section
- Toggle Show Trikome Watermark off
- Save changes
Changes apply to all devices linked to that store within a few minutes.
What Premium Includes
Beyond watermark removal, Premium unlocks:
| Feature | Free | Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Trikome watermark | Always shown | Can be hidden |
| Devices per store | 1 | Unlimited |
| Stores | 1 | Unlimited |
| Team invites | No | Yes |
| Media storage | 100 MB | 500 MB |
Display Layout
Whether or not you show the watermark, Trikome displays are designed for clarity:
Product List Pages
- Clean grid or list layout
- Product names, prices, and strain info prominently displayed
- THC/CBD percentages when available
- Consistent typography
Media Pages
- Full-screen images or videos
- No overlays (except optional watermark)
- Your content takes center stage
Tips for Professional Displays
Consistent Branding
Even without a custom logo option, you can maintain brand consistency:
- Media pages: Use branded images and videos with your logo
- Product photography: Maintain consistent style across products
- Collection naming: Use language that matches your brand voice
Color and Quality
Your content quality matters more than any watermark:
- Use high-resolution images (1920×1080 minimum)
- Ensure good lighting in product photos
- Keep text readable from typical viewing distances
A well-designed menu with a small watermark looks better than a cluttered menu without one. Focus on content quality first.
Strategic Media Use
Use media pages to inject your brand:
- Welcome slides with your logo
- Promotional graphics
- Store announcements
- Brand story or values
These can appear in rotation with product pages, reinforcing your identity throughout the menu cycle.
Common Questions
Can I use my own logo instead of the watermark?
Currently, Trikome doesn't support custom watermark replacement. You can:
- Remove the watermark on Premium
- Add branded media pages with your logo
- Use branded product photography
Does the watermark appear on screenshots?
Yes, if you take a screenshot or photo of your display, the watermark (if enabled) will be visible.
Can I change watermark position?
The watermark position is fixed and cannot be customized.
Does removing the watermark affect other features?
No, the watermark toggle only affects display appearance. All other features remain the same.
Subscription Impact
If your Premium subscription lapses:
- The watermark automatically reappears on displays
- You retain all your content and settings
- Extra devices beyond the Free limit will show a subscription notice
- Resubscribing restores full functionality
Keep your subscription current to maintain watermark-free displays. Set up auto-renewal to avoid interruptions.
Upgrading to Premium
To remove the watermark and access other Premium features:
- Go to Account → Billing
- Click Upgrade to Premium
- Enter payment information
- Confirm your subscription
Premium features activate immediately after successful payment.
