Print from any browser
The Fold print helper is a small program for the counter computer. It starts when you sign in, finds the receipt and tag printers you already have, and prints whatever Fold POS sends — from Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.
On a Mac? Chrome prints straight to the printer — open Fold POS in Chrome, then Settings › Receipts › Connect printer. The Mac helper for Safari and Firefox is on its way; email us and we'll set it up with you in the meantime.
Download this on the Windows computer the printer is plugged into.
Three steps
- Open the file you downloaded and click Next through it. No admin password is needed.
- When it finishes, a page opens in your browser. Sign in to Fold POS, go to Settings › Receipts › Fold Print Agent › Pair with a code, and type the 6-digit code into that page.
- Pick your printer in Settings › Receipts and print a test receipt. Done — it stays paired even after a restart.
If Windows shows a blue warning
“Windows protected your PC” appears because the helper is new and not yet in Microsoft's reputation list. Click More info, then Run anyway.
The helper only talks to app.foldpos.com and your printers. It doesn't change printer settings, and it's removed from Windows › Add or remove programs like anything else. Its status page is always at localhost:9377 on that computer.
