# Connecting to Your Store

Fuze Store Hub talks to two sides of your business:

1. **Your Fuze Store cloud account** — for plan info, add-ons, kitchen ticket sync, and updates.
2. **Your POS devices on the local Wi-Fi** — for printing, kitchen displays, and customer screens.

This page explains the pieces involved. For the actual pairing walkthroughs, see [Pairing the Mobile App](/docs/hub/pairing-mobile-app) and [Pairing the Browser App](/docs/hub/pairing-browser-app).

## What identifies your store

## What identifies each device

Every phone, tablet, or browser that talks to your Hub gets its **own personal key**. You generate these one at a time as you pair each device.

**No more shared password.** Older versions of Fuze Store Hub used one shared "LAN token" for every device. Now each device has its own key, so you can revoke a single phone (e.g. lost or stolen) without disturbing the others.

## Pairing a POS device — quick reference

For the full walk-through, follow the right page below:

- **Phone or tablet** (iOS / Android) → [Pairing the Mobile App](/docs/hub/pairing-mobile-app)
- **Browser** (Chrome / Edge / Safari at `store.fuze-store.com`) → [Pairing the Browser App](/docs/hub/pairing-browser-app)

The high-level flow is the same on both:

Open **Fuze Store Hub → Settings → Network**, click **Generate code** in the **Pair the browser** card. An 8-digit code appears.

Open Fuze Store on the device, walk through the pairing wizard, and type (or scan) the 8-digit code.

The pair code is exchanged for a 30-day session key that lives only on that one device. The device shows a green "Connected" badge.

## Managing paired devices

Open **Fuze Store Hub → Settings → Network → Pair the browser**. You'll see a count of active sessions and a list of paired devices. From here you can:

- **Revoke a single device** — useful if a phone is lost. The other devices keep working.
- **Revoke all** — kicks every paired device off at once. They'll need to walk through the pairing wizard again.

Revoking takes effect immediately. The next request from the revoked device fails and the device is bumped back to the pairing screen.

## Does Fuze Store Hub need the internet?

Most of the time, **no**. Receipts, kitchen tickets, and customer display updates all flow over your local Wi-Fi.

The cloud connection is only used for:

- Plan / add-on updates (so the Hub knows which features your subscription includes)
- Kitchen Display sync (optional — only if you also use KDS in the cloud)
- Automatic Hub updates

If your internet drops, everything local keeps working. Kitchen tickets queue up locally and push to the cloud when you reconnect.
