Connect a Bluetooth receipt printer

1 minute read · updated 27 Oct 2026

Most small thermal printers connect over Bluetooth in under a minute. You need the printer switched on with paper, and Bluetooth on your phone.

  1. Step 1: Turn the printer on

    Load the paper roll with the shiny side facing the print head, then switch the printer on. Keep it within 2 metres of your phone.
  2. Step 2: Open printer settings

    In Storeflow, tap More, then Settings, then Printers, then Add a printer.
  3. Step 3: Choose Bluetooth

    Pick Bluetooth as the printer type. Allow Storeflow to find nearby devices if your phone asks.
    Choose printer type: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or USB
  4. Step 4: Connect

    Tap Connect next to your printer. If your phone asks to pair, accept. The PIN is often 0000 or 1234.
  5. Step 5: Choose your paper size and test

    Pick 58 mm or 80 mm to match your roll, then tap Print a test receipt.
Printing blank or faded paper? The roll may be the wrong way round: thermal paper only prints on the shiny side. Old rolls also print faded, so try a new one.
