SALES
Find your products and create orders
Closing sales in a physical retail environment can be pretty stressful. We’ve designed the point of sale sales screen and search tools to help you find products and create orders with as little effort as possible so you can focus all your attention on your customers instead of the checkout process. FooSales can also be connected to a handheld Bluetooth or USB barcode scanner to quickly find products or variations with a matching product ID or SKU.
PAYMENTS
Accept payments quickly and easily
Process payments directly within the FooSales POS apps using Square or Stripe card readers (visit our hardware page for the current list of supported models and platforms). You can also enter a customer’s card details manually which is perfect for taking orders over the phone or if the hardware is not available in your country.
If you don’t use Square or Stripe, card payments can be manually processed using any third-party card reader of your choice and set to “Card Payment” at checkout. The payment type can also be set to “Cash”, “Direct Bank Transfer”, “Check”, “Cash on Delivery” and “Other Payment Method” or you can create your own custom payment methods in WooCommerce.
Note: The optional Square Payments Add-on and Stripe Payments Add-on are required to activate this functionality.
Certain Square and Stripe reader models will only connect to the FooSales POS tablet apps (not available in the WooCommerce Marketplace). Find out more →
