  • Orchid POS requires an internet connection.
  • Business class is best. Essentially, the faster your internet is, the faster your software experience will be.
  • In the event that you frequently experience loss of internet connectivity or are in an area where a physical high-speed internet connection is not available, we recommend using a cellular data hotspot. This can be your mobile device or you can purchase a dedicated hotspot from most cellular providers. This works as a WiFi router and will connect to most wireless capable devices.
  • A mobile hotspot is also an excellent option for all stores to have as emergency backup in case of an unexpected internet outage.
