Self-service POS?

Hello,

I'm running a small food cooperative, where I order some food stuff to the members, and they can come to the store and pick up the goods. I have done the billing on paper until now, and I'd like to automate this, so that I wouldn't have to use so much time for it.

I wonder if I could use Zen Cart as self-service Point of Sale for this operation.

My questions:

  • the customers would be able to check out themselves (This would require some kind of logging in / authenticating with a pin code)?
  • if they could be billed periodically (for example, once a month)?
  • the products could be scanned with a barcode reader (to make it easier and more reliable)?
  • to keep track of the stock (to know if something has not been scanned in to the system)?

Thanks!

Re: Self-service POS?

Twitch POS will do this for you. If you already have the barcode reader I can add the fields needed to connect it to the cart.

Ok, looks good. What about periodic billing, would that also be possible to do?

What I mean by this is that I would like to collect the purchases from a client to an account, and then bill them only once a month.

Yes, it works manually right now. You're welcome to sign up, I can approve your account and send you a bill (fake of course).

Re: Self-service POS?

Hey I had more time to look into it now - do you mean that the module would cost $2500?
