i. No server. Offline first.

Ebriza POS works without the need for a server installed on site. Regardless of the number of devices, they are synchronized with each other using the local network. You don't need the internet to work, you just need it to sync your data in the cloud for reporting.

1. iOS and Android devices

Important: the equipment list in this article refers to the current Ebriza applications (the old ones). The new applications do not have the same device requirements, so check the row for the application you are interested in:

We plan to replace all the old applications with new versions over the course of this year. If you are purchasing equipment now: for the kitchen, choose an iPad with a screen of at least 10 inches; for POS, you can use any iPhone or iPad running iOS 16 or later.

Do you already have Android devices? You don’t need to replace them now: they can continue to use the Ebriza POS app (the legacy version), which remains supported. We are also working on a POS NEXT version for Android and will notify customers when it becomes available. However, we do not have a release date yet — so, if you want to switch to POS NEXT now, you’ll need an iPhone or iPad running iOS 16 or later.

This Android version refers specifically to POS NEXT; for the kitchen (KDS) and customer display (CDS), iPad remains the supported device.

Please note: no Ebriza app can be installed on Windows. Neither Ebriza POS (the old app) nor Ebriza POS NEXT has a Windows version (nor a macOS or Linux version), so they cannot be installed on a computer, a laptop, or a Windows-based POS system (for example a Posiflex terminal running Windows). Ebriza POS NEXT runs on an iPhone or iPad with iOS/iPadOS 16 or later, installed from the App Store; the old Ebriza POS app runs only on the devices in the “Mobile POS devices” list below (iPad, iPhone, Android).

2. Router

Any type of router that provides a secure network connection. It facilitates communication between all connected devices.

3. Cash register

Cash register for printing tax receipts. It connects to the network via ethernet or WiFi cable, depending on the model. Go to the Ebriza POS settings, add the desired model and we will find it automatically in the network. No drivers or configuration.

4. Thermal printer

Prints receipts automatically from the tablet. You can use as many printers as you need, one for each work section. Just configure the tags and the products will print to the correct printer.

5. Payments

POS (Viva Wallet), Soft Payments (GP Tom)

Only the models listed below are integrated with Ebriza. If your cash register model does not appear on this list, it is not compatible with Ebriza, even if it is from the same manufacturer - for example, among Datecs cash registers, only the DP-25, DP-150, and WP-500 are integrated. The cash register must be able to connect to the same local network as the tablet: via a network cable connected to the router for Datecs models, while the Partner 200 and 600 models can also connect via Wi-Fi. Bluetooth connections are not supported.

2. iPhone

3. Android

2. Partner 200 & 600

The thermal printers listed below are ESC/POS printers (also written as “esc pos” or “ecs/pos”) — NON-FISCAL printers that print kitchen and bar order receipts, payment notes, delivery receipts, and the fiscal invoice issued to a customer from the POS. They never print the fiscal receipt: for the fiscal receipt, you need a cash register from those listed above, which is a completely different device. The condition that determines whether a thermal printer is compatible is that it can be connected to the same local network as the tablet, via a network cable to the router. The confirmed brands are listed below.

3. Posiflex

4. Sam4S

5. Citizen

Adhesive label printer: prints product labels, NOT order receipts and NOT fiscal receipts. It is not an ESC/POS receipt printer. It connects to the network via a LAN cable and is added from the Devices menu.

Attention: Zebra also produces a barcode scanner — this is a different device, which you can find below in the Retail section, and it is installed completely differently (via Bluetooth, from the tablet’s settings).

The Viva Wallet Android POS terminal connects to your phone or tablet over the network. You connect the terminal in the same way you connect a cash register. Viva Wallet terminal integration works in Ebriza POS NEXT (on iPad) and, in the old app, only on Android devices. If you are using the old app on an iPad or iPhone, you need to switch to Ebriza POS NEXT to use the terminal.

Turn your Android phone into a POS terminal. Soft payments allow you to accept card payments directly on your phone that already runs Ebriza.

Terminals provided by your bank are not integrated with the app. They do not appear in the Devices menu and cannot be added, so the amount is not sent to the terminal automatically. You can still take payments on them: type the amount on the terminal, then close the receipt in Ebriza using the Card payment method. The only card terminals integrated with Ebriza POS Next are Viva Wallet and GP TOM, listed above.

Important: You can use any other type of router but it is very important to be properly configured to avoid connection problems

Important: Zebra manufactures scanners and label printers, not scales. If you were told that you have a “Zebra scale,” it is most likely a Zebra scanner that reads the label printed by a scale from another brand.

Q: Can I install Ebriza POS or Ebriza POS NEXT on a Windows POS system (for example Posiflex), a computer, or a laptop?

A: No. Neither Ebriza POS nor Ebriza POS NEXT can be installed on Windows, so they cannot be installed on a Posiflex system running Windows either. Ebriza POS NEXT runs on an iPhone or iPad with iOS/iPadOS 16 or later and is installed from the App Store. Posiflex appears in this article only as a (non-fiscal) thermal printer, which connects over the network to the same router as the device running Ebriza — not as a device you install the app on.

Q: Can I use an Epson fiscal printer with Ebriza?

A: No. Epson is compatible only as a non-fiscal thermal printer (TM-T20, TM-T88, etc. models). For fiscal receipts, use one of the compatible cash registers listed above: Datecs (DP25, DP150, WP500) or Partner (200, 600). However, note that “non-fiscal only” does not mean “only order receipts and payment notes.” The same Epson printer can also print, directly from the POS, the fiscal invoice issued to a customer — the steps are described in the article “How do I issue an invoice to a customer in POS? [Ebriza POS NEXT]”.

Q: Which Epson printer models can I connect to Ebriza as a thermal printer?

A: Epson printer models are compatible with our application if they can connect via LAN cable or wireless to the network. For network stability, we recommend wired connection to the router, with the device running the Ebriza app connected to the same network.

Q: Can I enable a sound when order receipts are printed?

A: This setting cannot be configured from the Ebriza app, as it depends on each printer model's hardware configuration. Contact the printer supplier for assistance — some models offer this hardware feature.

Q: My cash register does not have a network (LAN) port. Can I use it with Ebriza?
​A: No. Ebriza communicates with the cash register only through the local network, on the same router as the tablet, and a device that cannot be connected to the network cannot be detected by the app or receive receipts. We do not recommend using adapters, bridges, or Wireless-to-Ethernet converters as a solution: these are not configurations supported by Ebriza and, in addition, such a bridge provides a network port, so it only helps a device that already has a LAN port. For fiscal receipts, choose one of the cash registers listed above.

Q: My cash register model does not appear on the list. Will it work anyway?
​A: No. Only the models listed in this article are integrated: Datecs DP-25, DP-150, and WP-500, and Partner 200 and 600. A model that does not appear on the list cannot be installed from the app - the device addition steps (Devices -> Printers and peripherals -> Add) work only for integrated models, so check the model first and only then follow the steps.

Q: Which ESC/POS (thermal, non-fiscal) printers can I connect to Ebriza?

A: The confirmed brands are Star, Epson (TM-T20 and TM-T88 models), Posiflex, Sam4S, and Citizen — details for each are available in the “Thermal Printers” section above. The condition is that the printer can be connected to the same local network as the tablet, via a network cable connected to the router. This question is not about fiscal cash registers: the cash register is the device used for fiscal receipts and has its own list, above in the article.

Q: My thermal printer gives an error when printing. Is it incompatible or is it broken?

A: First, check the brand and model and compare them with the list above. If the brand is not on the list, that is the cause. If the brand is on the list and the printer is connected via a network cable to the same router as the tablet, then compatibility is not the cause, and the issue should be investigated in the network or printing settings: check the printer’s IP address (you can find it by holding down the FEED button while restarting the printer) and follow the steps in the article “How do I install a non-fiscal printer? [Ebriza POS NEXT]”. If the printed report shows the address 192.168.192.168, the printer has not received an address from the network — first check the network cable connected to the router.
