Point of Sale (POS) Application

This POS thread brings back memories.

About twenty years ago I wrote a DOS Clipper POS program which was used by a chain of shoe shops in the north of England, UK.

Each shop had a small Tandy computer running the POS program. The program interfaced with a bar-code reader and small thermal receipt printer.

Credit cards were swiped and cofirmed by the sales lady ringing the credit card head office

After the customer's transaction was complete, a receipt was printed, till opened and it rang a bell!

At the end of the day, sales were zipped and uploaded via a slow telephone modem to head-office.

Head office automatically unzipped each shops sales and the main database was updated to the accounts package.

Spinoffs were written to analyse and topup depleted stock and ensure all shoe colours were available.

Best of luck with your project and hope you find numerous customers.
