POS System in Bubble

Questions
1

Hi,

Is it possible to build a POS system in Bubble?
There’s already a stripe plug-in, so if there was a way you could connect the stripe plug in to stripe’s hardware…

The easiest way to do that would be with one of the server-driven terminals, with which you need to connect with Stripe’s API using cURL and connect the terminal to wifi. Pretty straight forward :slight_smile: (It’s probably possible to use the Bluetooth terminals as well if you were to integrate with a plugin, but I’m not sure)

Yes you can make a pos system in bubble however, setup depends on what device you’re trying to work with.

For example WisePOS E or the WisePad you will have to connect to your own POS system (built in bubble, not too crazy but not a beginner project).

If you want a simpler development setup you can use the Reader S700 device which is a unified POS and card reader in one. Your bubble app would be more about just accessing the stripe account and displaying data.

Are there any tutorials online? (And still no code, correct?)

Probably would prefer the second option as a start. I’m assuming all the documentation for that would be on Stripe’s website?

Yes, it is.

Not sure that the S700 would be simpler, and it depends somewhat on the system’s target market. With both S700 and WisePOS E, you’d use the API Connector to set up cURL calls with Stripe API (no JS required), as they are both server-driven. Both the S700 and WisePOS E are powered by the same cURL API, the only difference is that the S700 can run the actual app. You would need to create an Android app though, which you could probably do using Natively.

Either way, no matter which you choose, you’ll need to build the app and set up the cURL calls in API connector.

Doubt you’ll find any specific to Bubble, unfortunately. Couldn’t find anyone off the bat at least. But if you’re not familiar with the API Connector yet, you can find plenty of tutorials on how to use it on YouTube. The process of setting up calls is pretty much the same across all cURL APIs.

Yeah, I had tried finding a couple for a bit but I couldn’t find anything. I’ll check back in here if I need some more guidance about this.
