First-Time Setup
The first time you open Fuze Store 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 generate one activation key there (in Configurations → Integrations → Fuze Store Hub) and paste it into the Hub.
Before the slides, Fuze Store Hub asks you to sign in with your Fuze Store account and pick the store this computer will serve. You must be the store owner, an organization admin, or a staff member with Hub Admin permission. Once you've chosen the store, the welcome carousel begins.
The five slides
1. Welcome
Quick overview of what Fuze Store Hub does: printing, kitchen display, and customer display. No input needed — just click Next.
2. Connect to your store
Paste your activation key — a short code you generate in the mobile app under Configurations → Integrations → Fuze Store Hub. It's valid for 72 hours and links this computer to the store you selected.
Your store is already chosen from the sign-in step, so there's no Store ID to copy. Once the key is accepted, Fuze Store Hub gets its own secure connection to your store automatically.
Click the ? next to any label for a plain-English explainer.
3. Network
In most cases you can leave everything on the defaults — Fuze Store Hub listens on 127.0.0.1:18443 over HTTPS — and just click Next.
To let phones and tablets on the same Wi-Fi reach this computer, turn on LAN sharing, which widens the listener to your local network address (0.0.0.0:18443). Only change the bind address, port, or cloud API URL if your network administrator told you to — tap Show advanced network settings.
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 Store 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 Store Hub/ - Windows —
%APPDATA%\Fuze Store Hub\ - Linux —
~/.config/Fuze Store Hub/
Secrets (your device token and pairing keys) 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 Store Hub tells you when that happens.
