Hardware Compatibility Depends on Your Setup
Phonesol is web-based, so many devices can work through browser-supported printing, operating-system drivers, or connected POS workflows. Exact compatibility depends on your device model, operating system, browser, and local configuration.

You can continue using existing hardware where possible. If something does not work well, Phonesol can help recommend alternatives before you replace everything.
