Point Of Sale input screen for Spree

SpreePos

A Point Of Sale (POS) screen for Spree.

POS screen hooks into the Admin Tabs and is meant to be used with a touchscreen.

Basic Bar scanner input (sku/ean search) or search by name. No Customer, no shipping, no coupons...

Allows for adjustment of line item prices and discount percentage of items and total

An actual Order is only created when you press print.

Pressing new will abandon the current sale. Also, there is no way to get to the pos screen from an existing order(yet), if those need to be edited, do so in the orders tab.

Configure

And Order must be shipped, so you must configure a ShippingMethod to be used. If you don't the first will be taken, rarely what you want.

Spree::Config.set(:pos_shipping => "id_or_name")

You can use this feature to give a discount or do whatever else you can do with shipments. We use 0€ .

EAN

Many sales and especially POS systems rely on barcode scanning. A barcde scanner functions identical to keyboard input to the product code. You may use the sku field for this but we use that for the supplier (or own) abbreviation.

So there is a migration supplied that provides a ean (European Article code, may be upc too) for the Variant class, and fields to edit it and search by it.

Dependencies

None..... but

Pos relies on html-invoice to print a receipt. The dependency is not made explicit in case you don't need receipts. If you do add spree-html-invoice to your gemfile you will want to configure the look of the receipt.

You can install spree-product-barcodes to print product labels if need be. Otherwise use the existing upc barcodes on the products and scan them into the sku.

ToDo

I'm just starting , maybe still rough. Currently works for VAT only.

Installation

Add to your Gemfile with
