POS integrations

[brandonkelly]

Could be done with a general purpose card reader (e.g. https://www.magtek.com/product/pin-pads), and/or we can integrate with Square (https://squareup.com/developers, https://docs.connect.squareup.com/api/connect/v1/#navsection-transactions) - probably as a separate plugin, since the workflow/settings involved in integrating Square webhooks will be more complex than normal gateways.

Not sure how we would integrate with this. Square has their own POS solution, but if this would be to allow Commerce to act as a POS, then this would come as a REST API with individual plugins bridging the gap between any POS and Commerce

Stripe Terminal may also be an option, which is now out of beta.

Commonly asked for synchronising inventory between online purchases and in-store, and being able to look up online or physical orders in Craft CMS. Smaller requests: putting gift cards or refunds through on a POS and having that reflected in Craft. Square might be complex for sure, I'd vote for Stripe terminal

I don't want to assume that because this is an open issue, that it's on the roadmap: is POS inventory management a feature that's underway, and if so, roughly when could we expect to see it drop?

@lindseybradford No timeline sorry, but not in the immediate future.

This one would be a game changer. Patiently await the day this becomes a reality

Hi, it's been approximately a year since the last comment on this thread. Is anything in the works as far as integrating Craft Commerce & POS ?

Hi All

There are a lot of variations when it comes to POS, especially when it comes to what people would like to see Commerce handle and how gateways/POS service providers handle things.

It would be great if people could outline what they are looking for in terms of this feature.

• POS feature you would like to see in Commerce
• Third party POS services/gateways to integrate with
• Any other POS information

This will give us more information on what a POS feature in Commerce could look like.

Thanks!

@nfourtythree I have a client who's seeking this feature in the next 12 months.

Use Case

• Single Brick & Mortar store with international E-Comm presence.
• Current POS lacks API functions to keep stock in sync with site
• Primary reason for this is the ability for in-sync stock between Site & Phycical Store.
• E-Comm uses Stripe, Physical Store uses WorldPay Terminal & Cash

Would be nice Features

• Multi-(Physical) Store Stock / Inventory
• Sales Reporting (Breakdown per store/location/online v physical)
• Some Products to be POS-Only not online, and other way around (though could be a custom field)
• Some ability for a USB-based Barcode Scanner
• Email/SMS Receipts

Hope that helps!
