This page covers features gated by Admin-tier permissions — typically Settings access. Admins have these by default; your administrator can adjust who has them in Settings > Team.
Checking this computer
The strip at the top of the page says whether Connect is ready to print on this computer. When it is, it names this computer’s till, receipt printer and label printer, and whether the cash drawer is on. Use Print a Test to print a test receipt or label, or to open the drawer. When something needs doing, the strip says what: Connect isn’t running, it’s paired with another shop, its setup isn’t finished, or a printer needs choosing again in Connect. Put it right, then click Check Again. While your shop is still being set up, the strip shows four steps instead: Install Connect, Pair with Your Shop, Choose Your Printers and Print a Test. Setting up takes about ten minutes. See Connect for installing it on a Mac or Windows computer.What prints where
What Prints Where lists each kind of printing and whether it goes through Connect or opens in the browser.Receipts on each till

With more than three tills the list folds away, so click Show All beside Till receipts to open it.- Receipts through Connect prints that till’s receipts through Connect on the till’s computer, and opens its cash drawer after a cash sale.
