Where to buy a supported cash drawer

Installing the cash drawer

If you're using the Winfall Cash Drawer, you can view the installation video on the manufacturer's website.

If you're using either the Star Micronics or the APG Vasario cash drawer, take a look at this installation video:

Connect the cash drawer to the receipt printer using the cash drawer cable provided. The larger end of the cable plugs into the cash drawer, and the smaller end of the cable plugs into the receipt printer.

Opening the cash drawer

You can open the cash drawer manually using the included keys, or wirelessly from the iPad. The iPad connects to the cash drawer through the receipt printer, and the cash drawer opens automatically after each sale, or if you tap No Sale from the Shopify POS app.

Note

You must connect the cash drawer to the same wireless network as your iPad.

Test the connection to the cash drawer

When you've set up your receipt printer and your cash drawer, you can check that the connection between them is working.

Steps:

1. From Shopify POS, tap ≡, and then tap Settings.

2. Tap Manage connected hardware.

3. Tap the printer that you want to test.

4. Tap Test cash drawer. The cash drawer should open.

Common Issues

To avoid common problems, make sure to check the following:

• the cash drawer's cable is plugged into the receipt printer

• the receipt printer has paper

• the receipt printer is properly paired with the iPad

• you're using the cash drawer cable you received in the hardware package to connect the cash drawer to the printer.

  If you tap No Sale on the products and cart screen and the cash drawer doesn't open, then this is likely a problem with the cash drawer cable. Contact our support team.
