First-Time Setup

The first time you open Fuze Hub, you'll see a five-slide welcome carousel. It takes about a minute to complete. You can change anything later from Settings.

Have your Fuze Store mobile app open on a tablet or phone beside you. You'll copy one thing (your Store ID) and generate one thing (a LAN token).

The five slides

1. Welcome

Quick overview of what Fuze Hub does: printing, kitchen display, and customer display. No input needed — just click Next.

2. Connect to your store

You'll be asked for two things:

Store ID — a long code like 1a2b3c4d-…. Find it in the mobile app: Configurations → Integrations → Fuze Hub. Copy and paste it in.
LAN token — click Generate. Fuze Hub creates a secret password that your POS tablets will use to talk to this computer. You'll see it again on the dashboard after setup.

Click the ? next to any label for a plain-English explainer.

3. Network

In most cases you can leave everything on the defaults — 0.0.0.0:8080 — and just click Next.

Only change these if your network administrator told you to. Tap Show advanced network settings to edit the bind address, port, or cloud API URL.

4. Optional modules

Toggle any optional modules you want:

Kitchen Display (KDS) sync — keeps a local copy of tickets so the kitchen screen works during internet outages. Only needed if you're using the KDS add-on.

You can skip this slide entirely if you don't need those features.

5. You're ready

A checklist shows what to do next: plug in a printer, pair a POS terminal, send a test print. Click Finish setup and Fuze Hub will start running in the background.

Where does the setup live?

Everything you enter is saved locally on this computer, inside your user profile:

Mac — ~/Library/Application Support/Fuze Hub/
Windows — %APPDATA%\Fuze Hub\
Linux — ~/.config/Fuze Hub/

Secrets (your LAN token and KDS API token) are encrypted with your operating system's secure store.

Changing settings later

Everything you set up is editable from Settings in the sidebar. Changes to network or modules trigger a quick server restart — Fuze Hub tells you when that happens.
