Anyone here use VirtueMart? (Joomla component)

Hey, to any of you that use VirtueMart - do you know if it could also be used within the store as a Point of Sale solution?

 

I've used virtuemart for a client but what do you mean by point of sale?

 

Point of Sale is a computer system used within a store to do orders right there, like a fancy cash register

 

i have used it before a sales solution. you can create an online shopping center with virtuemart

 

Yes, obviously, that's what it is! But have you used it for an in-store sales solution?

 

i'm not following neither

why couldn't you just setup a PC with internet connection and access the site with virtuemart.. and if you need buy some fancy hardware and make it seem more as a sales terminal.

 

I guess that would work. But would a new user account have to be created for each customer?

 

VirtueMart: Yes, I use it.

Registration: For tracking purposes yes, and for shipping if the good will be ship yes. However for things that the customers will pick up instantly, you can avoid individual registration.

For store point of sales I would full recommend registration.

 

cool, I just might give it a shot as a POS

 

You could do it as a POS. The person at the "cash register" would need to input much the same info as other systems, I would imagine.

I've entered people over the phone quite easily. Otherwise, you could use Authorize.net in a Virtual Terminal configuration and enter the info there.
