Please note that these instructions and compatible scanners are for Maui for iPad users only.
If you are using Maui for Windows or Mac, scanners are connected to the computer directly without any additional configuration necessary in Maui. If you are able to use your scanner to scan a barcode into a text editor or Notes app - you're all set. Check out our list of recommended hardware for Flowhub Maui here.
iPads work a bit differently, so check out our instructions below and directly in the app's hardware settings.
If you're using iPads to run Maui at your dispensary, Flowhub supports several barcode scanning hardware device options. These scanning devices are used to scan inventory barcodes to add items to carts.
If you're looking for information about scanning drivers' licenses to check in a customer to the store- see our information on the Greet app here.
