Hana Florist POS Hardware Compatibility — Works With What Flower Shops Already Have

Computers and Tablets — Any Modern Device Works

No need to buy brand-new computers just to get a new POS system. Hana runs completely inside a web browser, so any device that can open Chrome, Firefox, or Safari at a normal speed is all you need.

  • Windows PCs and laptops, desktops and portables
  • Mac computers and MacBooks
  • iPads via Safari
  • Android tablets via Chrome
  • Chromebooks and any browser-capable device

Cash Drawers — Open Automatically at Checkout

Cash drawers connected to a compatible receipt printer open automatically when Hana processes a cash payment. Most standard cash drawers connect via an RJ11 or RJ12 cable to the printer and work seamlessly.

  • Opens automatically on every cash transaction in Hana
  • No extra hardware or manual trigger needed
  • Works with standard cash drawers connected to a compatible printer
  • No additional setup required in most cases

Card Terminals — Integrated Payment Processing

Still matching flower orders with separate card terminal apps at the end of the day? Hana's integrated payment processing keeps chip, swipe, and contactless payments connected directly to your florist POS. Every transaction, order, and report stays together in one place.

  • Chip, swipe, and tap-to-pay all supported through Hana's integrated payment tools
  • Transactions, tips, and receipts tracked in one place with no separate reconciliation
  • Qualifying florists receive a card terminal at no extra cost

Barcode Scanners — Faster Checkout During Peak Periods

No stress over long checkout lines during busy Valentine's Day and Mother's Day periods. Hana supports standard USB and Bluetooth barcode scanners so your staff can look up products and ring up pre-made arrangements, gift items, and wrapped products with speed.

  • Standard USB barcode scanners supported
  • Bluetooth scanners also compatible
  • Speeds up counter checkout for pre-made arrangements, gift items, and wrapped products
  • No specific brand required, as most common scanner models work out of the box

Smartphones — For Drivers and On-the-Go Access

Because Hana is browser-based, it works on smartphones without downloading an app. Drivers can pull up order details and update delivery status right from the road. Florists working at a wedding venue or corporate event can also check inventory and take orders from anywhere with Wi-Fi or cellular access.

  • Works on iPhone and Android smartphones via any modern browser
  • No app download required for basic browser access
  • Drivers update delivery status from the road in real time
  • Florists take orders and check stock directly from events and markets
  • For a more streamlined on-the-go experience, the Hana mobile app is available for both iOS and Android

No Vendor Lock-In — Replace Devices Without the Headache

Dealing with restrictive POS systems that lock you into buying overpriced proprietary hardware? Hana works the opposite way by giving you complete hardware freedom. When something breaks or needs replacing, you can buy standard, off-the-shelf equipment locally at normal prices.

  • Swap an old iPad for any current model when it needs replacing
  • Pick up a compatible replacement locally the same day if a receipt printer breaks
  • No proprietary parts and no waiting on vendor supply
  • Add a second location or delivery station with any compatible device
  • Transparent pricing covers your subscription, never an extra hardware fee

Receipt Printers — Most Common Models Already Supported

Worrying if your current receipt printer will stop working if you switch systems? The most widely used thermal receipt printer brands in flower shops are fully supported by Hana. In most cases, they connect straight away without any hard reconfiguration.

Supported brands and series include:

  • Star Micronics — TSP100 and TSP650 series, the most common in flower shops
  • Epson — TM-T88 series

These connect via USB, Ethernet, or Bluetooth depending on the model. If one of these is already on your counter, it will work with Hana straight away.
