How products are displayed

Products carry a display type of their own.

Two shops can sell the same item and look nothing alike: Supermarket Simulator gives products a display type and keeps product data with the crates they arrive in.

Display pieces for particular counters are shipped as well, a deli one and a single-width bakery one among them. (checked against the game's own files)

In play

A product carries a display type of its own, which is why the game can decide how something is meant to be shown rather than leaving it entirely to you.

Crates carry product data with them, so what is in a box is known to the game before you open it rather than discovered afterwards.

Because a product keeps its own identifier, how it is displayed is a property of that product rather than a setting on one shelf.

What this entry does not tell you: how many display types exist or which one sells best. We have not verified those numbers, so we do not print them.
