Frequently asked questions about POS hardware

What elements should my POS hardware system consist of?

Your hardware setup is entirely up to you as it should reflect the kind of experience you want to create in your store. In addition to your iPad or desktop computer, the basic elements you need are a receipt printer, a cash drawer, a payment terminal and a stable internet connection.

Can I use the printers I've already got?

If you have Epson printers with an ethernet connection there is a good chance it may be compatible. Our Printer Guide covers which models work with Lightspeed POS. Some devices have limited options, but don't worry, we can help you identify which model you have and if it is compatible.

Will my older iPad work?

We will always update to support Apple's latest & greatest version of iOS so we do recommend a device that can update to Apple's latest software, however, we support up to 3 versions back, so iOS 11 or higher will work. To see which iOS devices work with Lightspeed POS, check out our iOS devices guide.

Do I have to use an iPad?

We prefer and always recommend iPads due to their reliability and longevity. However, Lightspeed POS software can run on Android and Windows, although be sure to check the Compatible hardware guide for Android and Windows. Also be sure to check that these devices work with the receipt printers you plan on using, as they may have specific requirements and limitations.
