PHP Point of Sale (POS) is a web-based point of sale system designed to help small businesses keep track of customers, sales and inventory.

The program works especially well for businesses that use cash, check, or account numbers for their sales.

PHP Point of Sale is a stable, mature product with a relatively active developer and user community.

This makes it an attractive choice for designers and integrators who are looking for a solid, tested platform upon which to build their own custom solutions.

It can even be integrated with barcode scanners and touch-screen displays. PHP Point of Sale is available in English, French and Spanish language versions.

PHP Point of Sale is a flexible product which can be deployed in several different ways, depending on your requirements:
- as a standalone application running on a single computer, ideal for small shops or mobile sales booths;
- as a centralized, server based solution, for larger shops which require multiple POS ‘client’ stations;
- as an Internet hosted service;
PHP Point of Sale user accounts are used by sales staff, managers and administrators. For security and reporting reasons, it’s a good idea to have separate user accounts for every individual who will need to use PHP Point of Sale.

For example, sales activity reports can be organized by user account, so you can easily see your top sales performers if each person has their own unique account.

All sales transactions in PHP Point of Sale are associated with a particular customer account. If you’re not interested in tracking customers, you can simply create a single ‘default’ customer account to be re-used for all transactions

Requirements:

· An Apache (Linux) or IIS (Windows) web server supporting PHP 4.3 or higher;
· A MySQL database server;
