Even though I already had a USB Star Micronics receipt printer for my previous POS system (Lightspeed) I purchased the recommended Star Micronics Bluetooth receipt printer and an iPad and a card reader and a card reader stand. The receipt printer didn’t work and now Shopify says they no longer recommend this printer even though it is still listed on their “supported printers” list. I now have two Star Micronics printers and neither of them work with Shopify. If Shopify had a desktop app, I could use either printer. So frustrating.
on top of that, the expensive card reader stand was designed so that you cannot access the restart button on the reader. This means you have to pry the reader off the stand every time you start up the system or if it loses connection. That piece of hardware had to be to tossed aside. Very frustrating.
