What it does

POSolid runs entirely in a web browser, so it works on almost any device you already own — a phone, a tablet, a laptop, or a desktop. There's nothing to buy from an app store and no special till hardware required. This page lists the devices, browsers, and helper apps POSolid supports.

Devices

Android phones and tablets
iPhone and iPad
Windows laptops and desktops
Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel)
Linux computers
Chromebooks

Any reasonably modern device from roughly the last few years will run POSolid comfortably. A tablet or a small all-in-one touchscreen makes a great till.

Browsers

Use an up-to-date version of any major browser:

Google Chrome (recommended)
Microsoft Edge (recommended)
Safari (recommended on iPhone / iPad / Mac)
Firefox

For the best experience, keep your browser updated to its latest version.

Getting started

Open your organization's POSolid web address in the browser on the device you want to use.
Sign in.
Optionally install POSolid as an app so it opens full-screen from your home screen or dock — see Install the App.

Key things to know

It's a cloud app, so you need an internet connection. POSolid talks to your account over the internet. A stable Wi-Fi or mobile connection is required during service.
Install it as an app for daily use. On any supported device you can add POSolid to your home screen or desktop and run it full-screen — see Install the App.
Secondary screens work too. The Kitchen Display, Customer Display Board, and reports open in a browser on any spare screen, tablet, or TV with a browser.
Printers connect through the Print Agent. Physical printers don't connect to the browser directly. A small free helper app — the Print Agent — runs on a device at your venue and talks to your printers. It's available for Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon), macOS (Intel), and Android. See Printing for setup.
No app store download for POSolid itself. POSolid is a web app; only the optional Print Agent is a separate download.

FAQ

Q: Do I need a special POS terminal or till hardware?
A: No. POSolid runs in the browser on ordinary phones, tablets, and computers. A tablet you already own works perfectly as a till.

Q: Which browser should I use?
A: Any modern browser works. We recommend Chrome or Edge on computers and Android, and Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Keep it updated.

Q: Does POSolid work offline?
A: POSolid is a cloud app and needs an internet connection to sign in, take orders, and sync. Keep a stable connection during service.

Q: Can I run the till on one device and the kitchen screen on another?
A: Yes. Each device signs in to the same organization in its own browser — for example a tablet at the till and a separate screen in the kitchen for the Kitchen Display.

Q: What do I install to connect a printer?
A: The Print Agent, a small free helper app available for Windows, macOS, and Android. See Printing for the full setup steps.
