In the Merchant Hub, Your Flows (under Run) shows the checkout flows installed on your account — open one in the Run app with Open in Run, or configure it with the gear (Flow Settings). To add a new flow, open the separate Flow Library, find a flow, and install it; it then appears in Your Flows.

## Key takeaways

- Your Flows (under Run) lists the checkout flows installed on your account; each card shows its name, type (Mobile, Desktop, or Other), and version.
- Open a flow in the Run app with Open in Run, or open its settings with the gear icon.
- The Flow Library is a separate section where you browse and install new flows.
- Installing a flow from the Flow Library adds it to Your Flows.
- Flow Settings let you configure options such as Cash Management and Flow Timeout.

## Your Flows vs the Flow Library

A **checkout flow** defines how your stations check out. There are two separate places for flows in the Merchant Hub:

- **Your Flows** (under **Run**) — manage the checkout flows **installed on your account**. Each flow card shows the flow's **name**, a **type** tag (Mobile, Desktop, or Other), and its **version**, along with an **Open in Run** button and a **settings** gear.
- **Flow Library** — a **separate section** where you **browse and install** new flows.

## Add a new flow

1. In the Merchant Hub, open the **Flow Library**.
2. Find the flow you want and **install** it.
3. The flow now appears under **Run → Your Flows**.

## Open a flow in Run

In **Your Flows**, each flow card has an **Open in Run** button. Choose it to launch that flow in the **Run** app on your station.

## Configure a flow

On a flow card in **Your Flows**, open its settings with the **gear icon**. **Flow Settings** let you configure options such as:

- **Cash Management** — turn cash tracking on so the station tracks the cash drawer during a session.
- **Flow Timeout** — how long the flow waits before timing out.
