Step by step

  1. Open the POS on the device you want to use and choose Connect this register.
  2. Keep the pairing code or QR code visible.
  3. In the signed-in admin app, open Settings → Devices and approve the pairing for the intended location.
  4. Return to the register and wait for connection, then select an eligible cashier.
  5. Start the register while online so it can prepare the data it needs.

Good to know

Pairing a register and signing in to an admin account are different actions. Only eligible staff with POS access and a PIN can use the register.

If you get stuck

If the code expires, choose New code. If the register was revoked, reconnect rather than repeatedly using the expired code.

Open in PatoHQ (opens in a new tab; sign-in may be required)

Available actions depend on your role, enabled modules and plan.
