Vireno runs as a till on an Android tablet, an iPad or iPhone, or a Mac. They all sell, take payments and close the day the same way. They differ in how they reach your card terminal and your printers, and in whether they keep selling when the internet drops. Use this page to choose a device, or to find out why a feature is missing on the one you have.

The card terminal runs Android, so the Vireno app can run on it: the till and the terminal are one device.
What you need for each
Android tablet: Android 7 or later. Install the app from the Vireno website.
iPad, iPhone or Mac: a Mac needs Apple silicon (M1 or later). The first time it prints or pays over your Wi-Fi, it asks to connect to devices on your network: allow it.
When the internet drops
An Android tablet, iPad, iPhone or Mac keeps taking cash and sends the sales once the connection is back.
Card payments need the internet on every device, even over your Wi-Fi, because the bank approves them.
What no device does
Bluetooth printers. Connect the printer by network cable, Wi-Fi or, on Android, USB.
USB printers on an iPad, iPhone or Mac. Connect the printer to your network instead.
