Add a POS station

A station is one register: a named device tied to a location. You create the station in the back office, then connect a physical tablet or computer to it using the station's install link or a short-lived activation code entered on the device.

Before you start

  • Log in as an owner/admin or a role allowed to manage devices.
  • Pick the correct location in the location switcher — stations belong to a location.

Steps

  1. Open Settings → Devices & Hardware (or POS Stations under Operations)Both show your stations for the selected location.
  2. Create a stationChoose the POS Station type and give it a clear name like “Front Counter”.
  3. Connect the deviceOn the tablet, open the station install link, or go to the activation page and enter the activation code shown for the station.
  4. Install the app on the deviceFollow the iPad or Android install article so the icon opens to this station's PIN screen.
  5. VerifySign in with a staff PIN and confirm the station shows as active in the back office.

Common mistakes

  • Reusing one station across multiple physical devices — create one station per register so print routing and reporting make sense.
  • Creating the station under the wrong location.
  • Letting an activation code expire — codes are short-lived, so enter them promptly.

Troubleshooting

The activation code is rejected.

Codes expire quickly. Generate a fresh code and enter it immediately, in uppercase as shown.

You can't create more stations.

Station count can be limited by your plan's entitlements. The Devices page shows your allowance — contact support to raise it.

When to contact support

  • You need more station entitlements than your plan allows.
  • A station was activated on a lost or stolen device and needs to be revoked.
