uniCenta oPOS VS Stripe Terminal

OpenBravo POS used to be ok, it even worked with barcode readers. But you could also manually punch up a sales receipt and it would adjust on hand numbers automatically. But Open Bravo has moved on to a cloud paid model. However there a few forks from the before time, like Unicenta, but I've never used that one and can only vouch for what it was back in the day.

Unicenta works pretty well on a POS that I salvaged from a shop closure last year (no reason for doing so - just thought it would be cool to have one for the hell of it). Runs on Linux as well as Windows if you want to escape Windows Embedded 7. Source: almost 3 years ago

Looks like Unicenta is an alternative POS that can be self-hosted and is licensed as GPL-3.0-or-later. Source: about 3 years ago

Hey, I'm creating a POS system and want to integrate Stripe Terminal for accepting in-person payments. I need to have offline capabilities so the server-driven integration is no option sadly. So I'll need to use their iOS & Android SDK's. Can anyone help me with this? Or tell me how to integrate two SDK's into a flutter app? (I'll probably be using the BBPOS WisePad 3).

If a gesture is not used as a confirmation input but as the payment method itself, we need some way to match payment details to this gesture and this user. For example, let’s imagine that a customer wants to pay with gestures that they trained on their smartwatch. We could imagine a... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

The short answer here is: there's companies which will provide you a cloud API to interact with a card reader they provide, and that's the least awful way to use one. These include Stripe (https://stripe.com/terminal), Square (https://squareup.com/us/en), SumUp (https://sumup.com/), and going towards the enterprise end, things like Adyen (https://www.adyen.com/pos-payments).

We'd love to have you! Make your way to stripe.com/terminal and go through the docs. There's a nice sample that uses a simulator to show you how to get it done. Source: about 2 years ago

Stripe does have a physical terminal too (https://stripe.com/terminal) but I've never seen it at a merchant. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
