Thermal and Terminal Printer Question

We are wanting to get a thermal printer. So far Epson and the other company are not working out for us and the retailers appear to be money vampires for a thermal printer. Does anyone know if the thermal printer that wix sells is any good? We see it connects to bluetooth, wifi, and ethernet. Does this mean we can get items to print automatically when orders come in? Or would we need a wifi dongle to do this?

As we are also not too familiar with thermal printers and terminal printers, if we went with a terminal printer, would that mean we need some type of device such as an IPAD, or a Square unit?

We are looking into the two items below, for reference.

If we cannot connect the thermal printer or having issues doing so, or need troubleshooting, can someone provide a link? We did find one on how to setup a printer, but we are not sure if it would work the same way as thermal printer as it appears thermal printer option only shows on the app, so the setup appears it might be different.

Thank you in advance!

Wix doesn’t sell printers and other equipment pieces to be used on Square or other systems.

You need to purchase the Wix POS system and use Wix Stores exclusively. The printers they sell separately are for those who didn’t purchase a bigger bundle that already included the printer or who needs to replace a damaged printer, etc.

I see, so although it is for online ordering only and I just want to print the receipt I would still need a POS? I was thinking I coulg just get the thermal printer and connect it via wifi or usb and to a laptop and call it good.
