Running a small business isn't easy, and especially so for retailers, restaurant owners, and others who have a brick-and-mortar storefront. Managing purchases and cash flow, keeping inventory stocked, making sure your employees are happy, and above all else serving your customers needs requires dedication, a solid business plan, and a bit of luck to be successful.

In between all of these demands, it can be difficult to dedicate the time to fairly evaluate solutions to various business needs, including software. For businesses with a retail component, your choice of point of sale (POS) system may be the most important technical decision you make, and yet, an overwhelmingly confusing one.

There are simply so many choices on the market today, and no one decision is going to be right for every business. Do you want a point of sale system which ties in with your inventory management, or do you just need to keep track of purchase numbers? Does it make sense to host everything locally, or would a cloud-based solution work for you? And if it's cloud-based, what happens when you inevitably lose Internet connectivity from time to time?

As if these kinds of factors don't make the decision difficult enough already, it's also worth considering what kind of support you need. Do you know the technical know-how to fix a system if it breaks, or customize it when your business needs change, or do you need that support from a vendor? And, importantly, if your tech support vendor disappeared tomorrow, would you be able to find a new one tomorrow? Is your system open enough for a new vendor to easily take over and fix problems and make changes?

For these reasons, open source point of sale systems might be a good option to consider for some businesses. In particular, they may appeal to those with some technical knowledge on staff who are looking to save costs by managing their own systems, as well as businesses who may need or desire significant customization from their system's default which require source code access to modify.

So what are the open source options available for retailers looking for a new point of sale system? There are a quite a few, and they vary widely in their features, maturity, and size of community. Let's take a look at a few options that might fit your business needs.

Odoo, which we've looked at before in our roundups of SCM, ERP, and project management tools, also provides a point of sale system solution. A part of Odoo's integrated solution, their point of sale system connects directly with the Odoo inventory and ecommerce tools, as well as their marketing and sales solutions, and runs on both Windows and Linux. It is web based, and while it can be used as a stand alone solution, the real power comes from its integrations.

SambaPOS is a point of sale system specifically designed for restaurants, and supports multiple languages and currencies. While a newer commercial version is available which is unfortunately proprietary, the slightly older SambaPOS 3 is available as open source under a GPLv3 license. Written in C#, SambaPOS 3's source can be found on GitHub. Targeted at a Windows platform, it seems like it may be a good choice for businesses with relatively simple needs.

WallacePOS is a web-based point of sale system, written in PHP, which is designed to be compatible with standard POS hardware like printers, cash drawers, and barcode readers. Since it's written to run inside of a browser, it should work with any modern operating system.

Do you have existing hardware you need to support? Are transactions at your business generally a few expensive items or many cheap ones? Do you need to be able to handle returns quickly? Are most of your customers using cash or credit cards? Think carefully about the exact demands your business has for its point of sale needs before making a decision.

If you mentioned Unicenta, you should mention Pastque, which shares the same origin (the abandoned OpenbravoPOS). It focuses on the ease of use and comes with an original Android version. Fast on payments with some advanced features, flexible with generic data export, we are a few bars, restaurants and shops using it from a long time in my city.

A food coop in Amersfoort Netherlands uses Odoo since one year. Pos and accounting integrated works like a charm.
Some modules had to be developed for example shelf label printen. This is fairly easy using qweb.

Goal: To sell apps, not source codes.
Problem: All the marketplaces i have found are for developers to sell source code.
Question: Can i sell apps without source codes here?
Note: My app is not a store app.

My guess would be that the official brands want to be able to moderate, control, maintain quality etc. apps being used on their systems and prevent problems or damage to users (which could have a detrimental impact on their reputation).

I consider it as there is no famous website to sell apps, only codes. At the current moment i am confused why there are so many official app stores, but not 3rd party one to obtain all operation systems + ability to sell non store apps.
Ok.

The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.

The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled form. Where some form of a product is not distributed with source code, there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining the source code for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost, preferably downloading via the Internet without charge. The source code must be the preferred form in which a programmer would modify the program. Deliberately obfuscated source code is not allowed. Intermediate forms such as the output of a preprocessor or translator are not allowed.

The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

The license must not place restrictions on other software that is distributed along with the licensed software. For example, the license must not insist that all other programs distributed on the same medium must be open source software.

The Washington Sales Tax Rate Library (WSRL) source code provides a sales tax rate lookup feature using the Department of Revenue's downloadable address and rate files. Its purpose is to provide a means of looking up tax rates using our downloadable files and can be used as a starting point for adding destination-based sales tax rate lookups to your application. For web applications such as shopping carts, you will need to develop a rate lookup service or extend the library to use a disk-based indexing scheme.

The Point of Sale (POS) system is a PHP project that manages the sale transaction of a certain store. The project was developed for a certain store which is for the medical store or Pharmacy. This system stores all the products that the store or pharmacy is selling, then the system user will encode the sale transaction on the sales page when the data saved or submitted the transaction will be stored in the database for reporting purposes.

Point-of-sale malware has been at the root of many breaches, including massive thefts at retailers Target in 2013 and Home Depot in 2014; in each case attackers were able to extract more than 100 million payment card and customer records from point-of-sale terminals by scraping card data before it was encrypted and sent to the payment processor.

The leak of the builder adds another dimension to the availability of the TreasureHunter payload and configurations. In the past, malware source code leaks such as the Zeus banking Trojan have spawned numerous variants, including Citadel, which cost organizations hundreds of millions in losses. PoS malware leaks have had similar effects, most notably with the 2015 leak of the Alina malware which led to the creation of the ProPoS and Katrina variants. The actor behind the TreasureHunter leak said:

For researchers, the availability of the source code opens the door into new avenues of analysis and proactive visibility into such activity on the underground. This affords organizations such as Flashpoint the ability to collaborate with others in the industry such as Cisco Talos in this case to improve existing protections and force attackers back to the drawing board.
