Description
Point of Sale System for WooCommerce
FooSales is a secure point of sale (POS) system for WooCommerce that turns any computer, iPad or Android tablet into a cash register.
FooSales makes it easy to sell your products and run your business from anywhere in the world while automatically updating your WooCommerce product inventory, orders, and customer data. It allows you to manage and process physical orders on-the-fly by connecting to your WooCommerce database. FooSales is perfect for retail stores, markets, pop-up shops, mobile events and many others.
Built for WooCommerce
FooSales is designed and built to work natively with WooCommerce and it connects to your store using the official WooCommerce API. By connecting directly to your WooCommerce database, there is no need for any third-party bridging software or middleware which can cause syncing issues and often adds extra cost and complexity.
Multi-Channel Platform
FooSales can be accessed from an unlimited number of devices and is available as a web version and native tablets apps (iPad & Android tablet) which all share the same intuitive interface. FooSales is perfect for retail stores, markets, pop-up shops, mobile events and many others.
Safe and Secure
FooSales leverages the many strengths of WooCommerce which includes secure, regularly audited code and tools. Furthermore, all your store, customer and order data remains on your web server and is never transmitted or stored on any third-party servers, including our own.
Process Orders
Create, cancel and submit new orders directly through an intuitive interface. Orders can be filtered in the WooCommerce back-end so you can tell which orders were placed on your online store and which came through FooSales.
Capture Payments
Accept cash as payment or manually process orders using a third-party card machine of your choice. FooSales does not limit you to a specific service provider and you can therefore use any card processor that suits your needs in terms of cost and availability.
Print & Ship
WooCommerce invoices are automatically emailed to customers once their order has been processed. Receipts can be printed manually or automatically with compatible hardware and can contain your own logo and company details.
Engage Customers
Create profiles for your customers so that you can learn more about their shopping habits and view contact info and order history at a glance. Customer data is automatically synced with your WooCommerce store so their order history can be referenced or tracked.

Installation
Minimum Requirements
- PHP version 5.3 or greater (PHP 5.6 or greater is recommended)
- MySQL version 5.0 or greater (MySQL 5.6 or greater is recommended)
- WooCommerce 3.1.0
Automatic installation
Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles all the file transfers. To do an automatic installation of FooSales, login to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins menu and click ‘Add New’.
In the search field type “FooSales” and click ‘Search Plugins’. Once you’ve found the FooSales plugin, you can view details about it such as release information, rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by simply clicking “Install Now”.
Manual installation
The manual installation method involves downloading the FooSales plugin and uploading it to your web server via your favorite FTP application. The WordPress codex contains instructions on how to do this here.
Updating
Automatic updates should work seamlessly, but as always though, please ensure that you back-up your website just in case.
If for some reason you encounter issues with the shop/category pages after an update, you simply need to flush the permalinks by going to WordPress > Settings > Permalinks and hitting ‘Save’. That should revert things back to normal.
