POS hardware that works with Mobius.
Mobius runs on open standards — ESC/POS printers, keyboard-type scanners, HID scales, and Stripe card readers or your bank's own terminal. No proprietary terminals, nothing to lease.
- No card needed to start
- Month-to-month
- Cancel anytime
What plugs in
Six kinds of register hardware, all standards-based.
Receipt printers
Thermal receipt printers connect over USB in the browser, or through the printer's normal Windows driver in the desktop app. Any regular printer works too, via the print dialog.
- Epson TM series (TM-T88, TM-m30 and similar)
- Star Micronics (TSP100 / TSP143 and similar)
- Bixolon, SNBC and other ESC/POS thermal printers
- Any standard desktop printer via the print dialog
USB-direct printing uses ESC/POS, the near-universal receipt printer language.
Cash drawers
A printer-driven drawer plugs into the receipt printer's drawer-kick port and opens on cash sales. The Windows app can also open an APG USBPro drawer directly.
- APG, Star, Volcora and most RJ11/RJ12 drawers
- APG USBPro drawers, driven directly by the Windows app
- Automatic open on cash sales, plus a manual open button
A printer-driven drawer connects to the printer, not to the computer.
Barcode scanners
Any USB scanner that types like a keyboard — which is nearly all of them — works out of the box. No scanner? Use the device camera.
- Zebra, Honeywell, NetumScan and other USB scanners
- Wireless scanners with a USB cradle (HID keyboard mode)
- 1D and 2D barcodes, UPC/EAN and Code 128
- Camera scanning on tablets, phones and webcams
Set wireless cradles to “USB HID Keyboard” mode — it's one configuration barcode.
Weigh scales
Sell by weight straight from the register — the scale's live reading flows into the sale line.
- USB HID point-of-sale scales (the common retail and postal type)
- Dymo and similar USB shipping scales
Serial (RS-232) scales aren't supported.
Card readers
In the US, in-person payments can run on Stripe Terminal smart readers, with funds going to your own Stripe account. Anywhere else, keep your bank's terminal and record it as a card tender.
- Stripe WisePOS E and Reader S700 (US)
- Your bank's terminal, recorded with the last 4 and approval #
- A Card Batches report to tie out each day
Stripe Terminal needs a US Stripe account.
Label printers
Print barcode and price labels for shelves and bins — one at a time or in batches from your product list.
- Zebra and other label printers via the print dialog
- Standard sheet labels on any desktop printer
- Generated UPC and Code 128 barcodes with price and name
Run it on the computer you have
Unlimited staff on every plan. Starter includes 1 register (2 at most) and Business 3; extra registers are $25/month each.
A Windows PC or a Mac, in the browser
Chrome or Edge for USB hardware support — printers, drawers, scanners and scales.
The Mobius Windows app
Offline cash sales, and it drives the receipt printer, cash drawer and scale natively — no browser needed.
An iPad, Android tablet or phone
The full POS in the browser. Camera scanning and Stripe card readers work; USB devices need a PC.
Your receipt printers, cash drawers and scanners almost certainly carry over — they speak the same standards. Scanners move from OPOS mode to plain keyboard mode (one configuration barcode), and the built-in Hardware Setup page tests every device before launch day. See how switching works.
Good to know
- Pole displays and serial (RS-232) devices aren't supported.
- USB devices in the browser need Chrome or Edge; the Windows app uses your printer's normal Windows driver.
- The desktop app is Windows only. On a Mac, use Mobius in the browser.
