What POS system would be the most suitable app, inventory and calculation wise?

[iMore Question]

We're looking for a POS system for iPad to support our produce sales at the farm. Which one would be the most suitable app, inventory and calculation wise

This is the data we'd be working with:
1. Type of produce
2. Rate: example, per bunch for herbs or kg for loose vegs
3. Quantity: in this case it would be the weight, or per dozen, bunch

Many Thanks

There are two things to consider... The POS aspect and the payment aspect... Look to the payment aspect first... Then get a POS app that's known to work well with the payment processing app/system you select. An AppStore search on "mobile payment" is a good place to start...

As a general rule yes, but there are some systems made for a business, industry or accounting system that are worth considering even if they may tie you to a particular payment network.

An important part of what kch50428 mentions is knowing what your fees for payment system will be. Sometime working with your bank or an industry trade group help you find a solution to minimize those fees.
