Point of Sale

[l3ackdraft]

I have a client that is looking to use his website as a point of sale at his warehouse.

Is there already a contribution that functions or mimics a point of sale for the zen-cart website?

Not an endorsement but a pointer to one that is available -
Search for OllaCart It is not OpenSource

I do not want to get away from zen-cart.
I was just curious if someone had written a admin feature that would allow them to add orders like a POS

Kobra wasn't telling you to jump ship

Run the search and you will see.

Thanks
Was hoping for a no cost one, but this will help

Cash registers are not free either...

You will also need a cash drawer and maybe a electroic register, bar code reader, & customer oriented Total display LCD or LED.

I have a small store also, does olla cart integrate with zen cart and take products off the "shelf" inventory when scanned automatically?

If you have your products indexed/entered with their upc code and have the scanner linked through your register - then yes it performs this...
The whole idea is to have only ONE inventory that is dynamically maintained no matter if a instore purchase or an online purchase.

I looked in to this a while back as I will have a "real" shop and a website and didn't want the trouble of multiple systems.

I'm using Zen as the engine for everything and then Ollacart for the shop POS. You can run this on a PC (nothing fancy as it only runs a browser to Ollacart) and then buy a cash drawer and receipt printer. Neither of these last two are very expensive. This keeps all of your data in Zen so stock and reporting are easy.
