Prerequisites:

See [Supported Devices for Point of Sale on Android and Windows](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.rt_hw_supported_android_windows.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Point of Sale on Android and Windows requires a minimum operating system version. It also supports peripherals for scanning, printing, payments, and cash management.").
- Access to the Point of Sale app. See [Access Point of Sale on Android and Windows](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.rt_access_app_android_windows.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Point of Sale for Android and Windows is available by invitation. Request access for testing or for distributing the app to your stores.").

7. Connect any required peripherals.
