Setting up a new cash register / POS site with OpenCart. Had been using CandyPress previously, and I have to say, OpenCart blows the shorts off of CandyPress.

I think they are the best in USA to provide Touch Screen systems for restaurants, fastfood outlets, corporate cafeterias, and general retail. so for further detail you have to visit the site through the link given.

At the moment there are two posts above, 2011, 2013.

Point of sale (pos) in the usual sense, of over the counter rather than over the internet, is in practice a completely different animal from point of sale (pos) in reference to on-line shopping carts augmented administratively by manually inserted transactions which happen to arrive in person or by telephone (or facsimile or carrier pigeon, whatever).

The original 2011 post, linking to a new OC which is still running, referred to switching to OC from a commercial cart over an extended sense of "point of sale" (pos), which at the latter commercial cart's current website is noted as, "Order Entry (POS - admin) - Need to take orders over the phone? Now you can with ease and you can control who has access with our new user roles. User roles allow you to set exactly who is allowed access to what in the administration. Predefined roles are Admin, customer, wholesaler, and Customer Service Representative (CSR)." All of those, and all of the other essential features listed there above and below those, have been part of fuller-featured OC for quite a while now. No contest.

The 2013 Jun 17 post (just above) links to one of many sources for traditional pos in traditional settings of traditional walk-in and call-in patronage. (A restaurant pos touchscreen can be brutalized along with a hapless waitress' fingertip as quickly for a personal as for a telephonic order to go.) Whether that link might well have been either innocently inserted general information or instead have been inserted purely for benefit of traffic via forum linkages (the first post made, 61:31 after joining the OC forum), it poses an object lesson anyway. At that link, NOT ONE item bears ANY connection to ANY shopping cart, NOT EVEN for augmenting a shopping cart WITH traditional pos. That very capability, to take in administrative manually inserted transactions, having nothing to do with touchscreens or other aspects of traditional pos, has been doable in OC for some time now. No contest.

And as for current traditional pos, 'tis still even now its own wild and woolly enough world to warrant looking somewhat further than that particular one Eastern Seaboard outlet whose own website is archaic in design as well as archaic in predilection to hide software and hardware pricing which is either pricelessly mysterious or simply not rocket science worth hiding from potential commercial customers who haven't time to waste on such hide and seek. That it is THAT mired in the past heartily DISrecommends itself. No contest.

In OC forums the beat goes on, the search goes on, for improved or modified means of administrative manual insertions of walk-in and phone-in transactions. Credit cards are often run manually using a banking modem (e.g., Verifone, others), often to accommodate customers who will not use cards on-line or even shop on-line, and there is meanwhile or afterward no electronic communication from modem to OC (just one giant double-eyed and deci-digited honorary electron). There is as yet no convincing remedy for clerical convenience at a counter to insert walk-in or phone-in people into an on-line "cart" (lan or wan, OC or other). "Looky, Myrtle, flip the switch, it's all automatic, poke the screen, don't even need to read any instructions, it knows our blunders already." Right. No contest.
