Getting Started with Flow Studio

Flow Studio is Final's AI tool for creating checkout flows. Instead of writing code, you describe the flow you want in a chat, and Flow Studio creates it for you, then shows a live preview you can try, refine by chatting, and deploy to your stations.

What is Flow Studio?

Flow Studio turns a plain-language description into a working checkout flow: a point-of-sale experience that runs on your Final POS stations. You don't need any coding or design experience. You tell Flow Studio what you want, and it generates the screens, layout, and logic for you.

Because your flow runs on Final, it works with your real store data (your catalog, cart, payments, refunds, and printing) through Final's built-in connection. That connection also works offline, so a flow keeps taking payments even without a network.

How does Flow Studio work?

Building a flow is a conversation:

• Describe it. Tell Flow Studio what you want to build, in your own words.

• Preview it live. Flow Studio generates the flow and opens an interactive preview you can click through.

• Refine by chatting. Ask for changes, such as adding a screen, adjusting the design, or wiring up a feature, and the preview updates.

• Deploy it. When it's ready, deploy the flow so it runs on your stations.

Flow Studio has three chat modes. Build mode makes changes to your flow. Plan and Ask are read-only: use them to plan an approach or ask a question without changing anything.

What can Flow Studio make?

Flow Studio is designed for retail and point-of-sale flows. It can create things like product catalogs and checkout screens, a station home screen, receipt printing, and barcode scanning, all wired to your real Final POS data. For back-office setup that the on-device connection doesn't cover, your flow can securely call Final's API at runtime.

Can I use my own branding and assets?

Yes. Flow Studio follows the branding you specify (your colors, light or dark appearance, and corner style) rather than imposing its own. You can also upload assets into your flow, including logos, images, audio, video, fonts, and PDFs, and Flow Studio will use them in the right places.

Which AI model does Flow Studio use?

There are two model options: a faster everyday model, and a higher-quality model you can pick per chat. You can also generate images and short promotional videos for launching your flow or store.

Can I build with my own AI tool?

Yes. Flow Studio offers a connection (MCP) that lets external AI tools, such as Claude Code, Cursor, or ChatGPT, build Final flows using their own model, grounded in Final's capabilities. Anything they build still appears in Flow Studio, so you can preview, refine, and deploy it the same way.

What does Flow Studio cost?

Flow Studio usage runs on credits. Every account gets 1,000 free credits each day, up to 5,000 a month. Unused daily credits reset. Optional one-off packs (Spark, Boost, Pro) never expire. There is no monthly software fee.
