not sure I understand exactly what this app does. Does it enable you to charge clients credit cards for payment?

Hello Sylvia,

Not at the moment. You can select a payment method for future reference (in reports, etc.), but it doesn't actually charge a client's card. It requires 3rd party integration.

Can this be used offline and also like other pos for example using a barcode scanner to scan products for sale?

I am also reviewing the integration of the pos facility at my club. As members (customers) have "credit" accounts with the club, can the pos module use this for payments, same as paying invoces

We would like to issue in-house gift cards in the form of magnetic stripe cards, which will be read by a magnetic card reader writer encoder, connected to the computer running your POS software. The gift cards will have the customer’s name and customer number, encoded in the magnetic stripe, which will help with identifying the customer to be linked to a sale. This will be our only payment method and invoices will only be e-mailed to customers. No receipts will be printed.

In addition, it will be very helpful if the invoice can reflect the balance left on the gift card, after each sale.

how can i take pos report daily

Why are my discounts not working?

Can you now accept credit cards through the POS app, if so what credit card readers are supported. Also can you collect payments from invoices created before the customer arrives to pick up products.
