I did not mention this in the article but the POS should at least be able to handle the money transaction (cash, credit/debit card) and receipt printing. The cash register I installed has a built in receipt printer. It prints the date of purchase and the transaction amount. If a customer wishes to return an item, and if necessary, the order can be looked up in the database using these two values. Hi Jonathan

I am running into this same issue with connecting my inventories of both online and in-store. I need to provide receipts to my customers in the store, so using a manual cash register with hand-written receipts isn't very practical. Still looking for another solution to have a web-based store for POS that combines online and in-store. Hoping that Magento will have a solution.
