Pairing the Browser App
If you run Fuze Store in a browser (Chrome, Edge or Safari), pair it with the Hub once. Browsers block insecure http requests from a secure page, so the Hub serves an HTTPS address, and your browser has to trust its certificate first. Phones and tablets pair through the app and skip this.
Before you start
- The Hub running.
- Chrome, Edge or Safari.
Steps
Open the wizard
Sign in at store.fuze-store.com, go to Configurations → Integrations → Fuze Store Hub, and click Get started on Pair this browser with Fuze Store Hub.

Trust the local certificate
Click Open trust page. A tab opens at https://localhost:18443/health. Click Advanced, then Proceed to localhost (unsafe). You see a small response confirming the Hub is up. Close it and click Verify connection. This connection never leaves your computer.

Generate and enter the code
On the Hub computer open Settings → Network → Pair the browser → Generate code. In the browser type the 8 digits, or click Scan QR code, allow the camera and point it at the QR beside the code.
Entering the code — screenshot coming soon
You are paired
The wizard shows This browser is paired. Printing, kitchen display and customer display now work from the tab. There is no Save step.

What happens next
- The browser stores a 30-day session token on that browser only. The Hub keeps a hash of it.
Edge cases
- A browser on another computer. Leave Hub address empty on the Hub computer. Otherwise expand Advanced and type the Hub's IP address from Settings → Network, which needs sharing left on (it is by default). Then open the trust page again.
- A real lock instead of the warning. Optionally download the certificate and install it. See Installing the Hub Certificate.
- Chrome, Edge or Safari recommended. Other Chromium browsers work. Firefox needs an extra trust step.
- To change the port, expand Advanced in the trust step and edit it before Verify. The default is 18443.
- Disconnect or Re-pair from the wizard. Re-pair walks the same flow with a new code.
- Errors. We couldn't reach the Hub: trust the certificate and Verify again. localhost refused: the browser is not on the Hub computer, so use Advanced and the Hub's IP. The Hub does not seem to be running: open it and wait a few seconds. Code did not work: it lasts 5 minutes, single use. Too many attempts: wait a minute. Camera blocked: check the lock icon, or type the code.
- Revoking. In Settings → Network → Pair the browser, Revoke (N) invalidates every paired browser.
