Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the Handheld and the Terminal?
The Terminal is designed for a counter and has a built-in printer. The Handheld is a full, portable point of sale with camera and barcode scanner, ideal for taking orders and payments on the move.
Can I print receipts?
Not from the device itself: pair a compatible receipt printer, or send receipts by text or email.
