First-Time Setup
The first time you open the Hub you sign in with your Fuze Store account, pick the store this computer serves, and see a four-slide welcome. It takes about a minute, and you can change everything later in Settings.
Before you start
- The Hub installed.
- The Fuze Store mobile app open beside you, in case you need to generate an activation key.
Steps
Sign in and pick the store
Sign in with your Fuze Store account. The Hub lists stores you own, stores of an organization you administer, and stores where you hold Hub admin. A bar at the top shows the account and a Sign out button, so a wrong account can be fixed straight away.

Slide 1: Welcome
A short overview of printing, kitchen display and customer display. Click Next.

Slide 2: Connect to your store
The Hub makes a one-time activation key itself when the signed-in person may manage the Hub. If that is refused, it asks for a key you generate in the app under Configurations → Integrations → Fuze Store Hub and paste in. The key lasts 72 hours and is shown once. Your store is already chosen, so there is no Store ID to copy.

Slide 3: Network
Leave the defaults: the Hub listens on 127.0.0.1:18443 over HTTPS. Turn on LAN sharing so phones and tablets on the same Wi-Fi can reach it, which widens it to 0.0.0.0:18443. Change the bind address, port or cloud URL only if your network administrator says so.

Slide 4: 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 the Hub runs in the background.

What happens next
- The Hub registers to the store, uses up the key and gets its own secure access to the server.
Edge cases
- Banners above the first slide. Sign in again to finish setup means your sign-in is stale: click Sign in, confirm it is you and carry on, with nothing lost. Can't reach Fuze Store means the computer needs internet. Neither stops you moving between slides, but Finish setup fails until fixed.
- One key, one Hub. The key is used up in one step, so two Hubs cannot activate with the same key at once. The second is refused. A wrong, used or expired key is refused too.
- Where it is saved. In your user profile: Mac
~/Library/Application Support/Fuze Store Hub/, Windows%APPDATA%\Fuze Store Hub\, Linux~/.config/Fuze Store Hub/. Secrets are encrypted with the operating system's secure store. - Changing settings later. Open Settings in the sidebar. Network or module changes restart the local server and the Hub tells you.
- Already set up? If the store already has a Hub, the in-app wizard skips ahead to pairing the device.
