Recommendations

We recommend using an Apple iPad (10th Generation) or later for your Point of Sale. Different sized iPads and tablets are compatible with Dripos, but will display differently depending on screen size. Dripos is optimized for standard iPads, and we highly recommend using them for the best experience. Many Android tablets do not have the processing power required for Dripos to run smoothly, so please review the requirements below carefully before choosing a device.

Requirements

Confirm your tablet meets the following software and hardware requirements needed to run the Point of Sale app:

Apple

Requires iPadOS 13.0 or later

Android

Requires Android 8.0 and up Minimum 8 GB RAM required

Dripos Device

In Dripos, a Device is a unique POS setup tied to one physical tablet or phone.
  • Each iPad/Android tablet running the Dripos POS should have its own Device name. (e.g., “Register 1”, “Drive Thru”, “Bar iPad”).
  • Each phone/tablet running Dripos Go is also its own Device (e.g., “Event Handheld”, “Patio POS”).
This lets you:
  • See which register/station orders are coming from
  • Keep cash drawers and reports organized by register
  • Connect the correct card reader to the correct tablet
Important: One Device name = one tablet
  • You should not sign in to multiple tablets using the same Device name .
  • Sharing a Device name across multiple tablets can:
    • Cause issues with the checkout flow
    • Create problems with card reader connections
    • Make reporting and cash tracking inaccurate
Best practice:
  • Give each physical tablet its own unique Device name
  • Keep that tablet always logged in under that same Device name
  • Pair only one card reader to that Device/tablet at a time
