Please turn all the permissions on as shown:

  • Bluetooth is used for Bluetooth credit card devices

  • Camera is used to scan QR codes on the receipts

In order to keep the devices connected to each other over the local network the IP addresses of the devices need to remain consistent. In order to prevent the iPad from changing its IP address frequently, you need to turn off the Private WiFi Address option.
