WineDirect does not receive advanced notice of these updates, but our team begins testing immediately upon release to ensure our POS continues to run smoothly. The timing of this testing varies depending on the update, but we expect it to take up to two weeks. To avoid disruptions, **DO NOT** update your iPad device(s) until we confirm testing has been completed. **How will you know when we have everything tested on our end?** Check out our [News Releases](https://documentation.vin65.com/News-Release) section for updates about iOS/iPadOS testing, bug fixes, new features, etc. --- Need Hardware? For additional hardware options compatible with the POS, please get in touch with WineDirect Payments at (818) 346-9888 or via email: [support@winedirectpayments.com](mailto:support@winedirectpayments.com) **Important Note:** If you use an [iPad Enclosure](https://store.winedirectpayments.com/productlist?catid=100008) for your POS system, you must **ALLOW ACCESS WHEN LOCKED** to accessories to ensure the iPad does not stop charging after being idle for 1.5 hours. Go to **Settings > Touch ID and Passcode > Turn on "Accessories"** **Important Note: In rare instances, customers have had issues fitting iPad enclosures into multi-unit dock chargers. If you experience this, please contact WineDirect Payments at (818)346-9888 or [support@winedirectpayments.com](mailto:support@winedirectpayments.com)** --- ## ## Minimum supported models: WineDirect's ecommerce POS application is optimized for iPad products with iPadOS 13 and above.

We only support cash drawers that hook into the printers, not USB cash drawers, except the mPOP above.
