Integration walkthrough
This walkthrough takes a business owner from zero to a fully connected fiscal device, with an optional handoff to a POS partner at the end. It uses only the components that ship with e-bon today: the Cloud Portal, the E-BON App for Android and the public API.
Connect your first device
Create your e-bon account
Sign up in the portal (app.e-bon.ro) using your business email. Your CUI is filled in automatically from ANAF — confirm it, pick a password, and your account is ready. The free tier covers up to 3 devices and does not require a credit card.
Add your business and your first location
Once you land on the dashboard, open Settings → Locations and add the shop, restaurant or office where the first fiscal device will live. Use a clear name like Bucharest — Unirii so you can tell locations apart later.
Install the E-BON App on your Android device
On the Android phone or tablet that will sit next to the fiscal printer, install the E-BON App from Google Play. Sign in with the same email and password you used for the portal — the app links itself to your account automatically.
Pair the fiscal printer
In the app, open Settings → Add Printer and choose how the printer connects:
- Bluetooth — for printers paired wirelessly to the Android device
- USB — for printers connected directly to the device
- Serial — for printers using a serial cable (typically through a USB adapter)
- TCP — for printers reachable on the local network
The app auto-detects the model and firmware, so you do not need to enter technical details by hand. Supported drivers include Datecs, Daisy, Eltrade, Incotex, Tremol, Custom and Shtrih.
Print a test receipt to verify the connection
Back in the portal, open the Devices page. The newly paired device should appear with a green status. Trigger a test receipt from the device page — within a few seconds you should see it printed by the fiscal printer and recorded in the Receipts view in the portal.
(Optional) Generate an API key for your POS partner
If you use a third-party POS that should dispatch fiscal receipts to e-bon, open Settings → API Keys, create a key with the scopes the POS needs, and share it with your POS partner. They will use it to call the e-bon API and your receipts will keep flowing through the same fiscal device.
Review your first X report at the end of the day
Before closing for the day, open Reports in the portal, pick the device and run an X report (a snapshot of the day so far that does not close the fiscal day). At the end of the working day, run a Z report to close the day fiscally. e-bon will remind you if the Z report is overdue.
