Point of sale (POS)

Sell in person on the same catalog, inventory, and customers as your online store.

The POS turns your store into a register for in-person selling. It shares one catalog, one inventory, and one customer list with your online store — so a sale in the shop and a sale on the web draw down the same stock and land in the same order history.

Ringing up a sale

Add products (or scan them), attach a customer if you want the sale on their history, apply a discount, and take payment. Stock and orders update immediately.

Taking payment

POS accepts multiple tender types, including cash, card, gift card, and store credit — and split tender, so one sale can be paid partly in cash and partly on card (or any mix).

Park & hold

Set an in-progress sale aside (a customer forgot their wallet, a queue is building) and pick it back up later without losing the cart.

Cash drawer & closing

Track cash in the drawer across a shift and run a blind close at the end — you count the drawer without seeing the expected total first, then Cartisto reconciles your count against sales.

Hardware

POS talks to common receipt printers and cash drawers directly from the browser (ESC/POS over Web Serial): print a receipt and kick the drawer open on payment, no extra middleware to install.

Tip

Prices are always computed by the platform Just like online checkout, POS totals, discounts, and taxes are computed by Cartisto — so a promotion or tax rule behaves identically in person and online.
