Loyverse POS Hardware for iPad, iPhone & Android

Find receipt printers, cash drawers, barcode scanners and checkout accessories for Loyverse POS, including guidance for choosing the correct Epson or Star receipt printer interface for Apple iPad and iPhone systems.

Quick Answer: What receipt printer works with Loyverse on an Apple iPad?

For Loyverse POS on an Apple iPad, choose both a receipt printer model and a connection method that Loyverse supports for iOS.

Loyverse currently identifies the Star Micronics mC-Print3 for iOS using USB, Bluetooth or Ethernet. Loyverse also identifies specific Epson models including the Epson TM-m30 and Epson TM-m30II-SL using Ethernet or Bluetooth.

Important: Printer compatibility depends on both the printer model and interface. A printer family may be compatible through Ethernet but not necessarily through every USB, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi version.

If you also need a cash drawer, the most common configuration is a printer-driven cash drawer. The drawer connects to the receipt printer rather than directly to the iPad.

Common Customer Question

“I use Loyverse on an iPad. Which Epson printer and cash drawer should I buy?”

If You Want Epson

Epson + Loyverse on iPad

Loyverse's iOS recommendations specifically include the Epson TM-m30 and TM-m30II-SL with Ethernet or Bluetooth connectivity.

The exact model and interface matter. Do not assume every printer carrying the TM-m30 name will work the same way with Loyverse.

Why the interface matters: “Epson TM-m30” or “Star mC-Print3” alone does not completely identify how a printer connects. Always verify the exact SKU and interface before ordering.

What about the newer Epson TM-m30III?

ShopPOSPortal sells newer Epson TM-m30III configurations, but a newer model should not automatically be assumed to be identical to a printer currently listed by Loyverse for iOS.

If your requirement is specifically Loyverse POS on an Apple iPad, contact us before ordering a newer Epson configuration and we can help verify the model and interface.

How Does a Cash Drawer Work with Loyverse?

Printer-Driven Cash Drawer

In a typical Loyverse checkout, the cash drawer does not connect directly to the iPad.

Instead:

iPad → Receipt Printer → Cash Drawer

The cash drawer cable connects to the receipt printer's drawer port. The printer sends the electrical signal that opens the drawer.

Want a Full-Size Drawer?

For a permanent retail, restaurant, grocery or service counter, a 16 × 16 commercial cash drawer provides significantly more till space than compact tablet-oriented drawers.

Check the printer connection, cable and drawer requirements before purchasing.

Barcode Scanners for Loyverse

Retailers, grocery stores, boutiques and other product-based businesses can add a barcode scanner to speed up item entry at checkout.

1D

Traditional UPC Scanning

A 1D scanner is appropriate when you primarily scan traditional UPC, EAN and other linear product barcodes.

2D

UPC + QR Codes

A 2D scanner reads traditional linear barcodes plus QR codes and other 2D symbols, giving your checkout more flexibility.

Important

iPad Compatibility

Scanner compatibility and pairing methods can differ between iOS and Android. Verify the scanner and connection type before ordering.
