How can we change the currency.

And my feedback is that I cannot access company and Sync connection in the app on my mobile phone. I will try on a tablet later.

Any guide/document on this?

Hello @fkardame

So far, the POS is mainly developed for Tablet. We haven’t made a layout for the mobile phone yet. So as to changing the currency, the team is currently working on changing it using the settings.

Thanks for the Reply.
I will wait for the setting changes.
Is the POS App Open source?

Hello @fkardame As of now, it is free but not open source. Only the package for frappe client and erpnext app are open source. About the currency in settings, we will have an update tomorrow for this

Thanks for the Quick reply.

Hello @olamide_shodunke

Have you installed the TailPOS Sync in your ERPNext?
Let us know what you have done so far with your installation.

Thanks!

Awesome. This will be very useful for a lot of people using ERPNext.

jiloyssss · November 22, 2018, 2:53pm

Hello @olamide_shodunke, We already fixed the syncing problem. You can update the POS application from playstore and try syncing it again. Please refer here: https://docs.tailpos.com/tailpos/ in syncing.

Thanks and have a nice day ahead

Good day! @fkardame, You can now set the currency in settings in component tab. Thanks!

Great! ERPNext always needed this feature. I’ll try it out soon. Will the App ever be open source so the community can also contribute to it? Also, can we connect a weight scale?

fkardame · November 22, 2018, 5:57pm

Thanks.
Ill y
Try it out now.

iRaySpace · November 23, 2018, 1:29am

Hello @saifi0102

For now, the team has no plan about going open source for the mobile app. With regards to connecting the app to the weight scale, the team will take that into account.

olamide_shodunke · November 23, 2018, 7:30am

Hello @iRaySpace

It would be nice to know what your medium to long-term plan as far as open source/commercialization is concerned. Am sure people would not want to rely on this for business purpose only for your team to change its model and introduce pricing at a point.

Simply put do you plan to commercialize this ? Nothing wrong with it if that’s your plan, it will however be nice for adopters to know.

Regards

Hello @olamide_shodunke

The team discussed that the mobile application will be FREE but the source code will be closed. We are planning to monetize the app in order to sustain the project.

So far the team planned to do the following:

A mobile app for the owner where dashboard are shown for analytics in their sales.
In the Philippines before getting accredited to supply a POS system, we need to provide reports and follow code regulations which is where the team planned for monetization.
White labeling
