How to set up POS hardware

Use the setup path that matches the hardware and device running M&M POS.

1

Confirm the connection type

Check whether the hardware uses USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, NFC, or an RJ12 connection through a receipt printer. Confirm that connection is supported by the Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS device running M&M POS.

2

Install, pair, or connect the device

Install manufacturer drivers for desktop printers when required. Pair supported Bluetooth devices in the operating system or M&M POS connection flow. Connect internet readers to a stable network before registration.

3

Select the hardware in M&M POS

Open the related printer or Stripe settings in M&M POS and select the connected device. For desktop receipt printing, set the intended printer as the system default when using the standard print path.

4

Test before serving customers

Print a test receipt, scan a known barcode, or run the reader's test connection before the hardware is used at checkout. For a cash drawer, first confirm the receipt printer works, then test the drawer through the printer.

Before buying hardware: device support can depend on your country, operating system, printer command set, and connection type. Check the supported reader list or contact M&M POS with the exact model number when compatibility is unclear.
