I have a customer who's using a different POS with a swipe machine at a physical book store. I want to switch them to CS-Cart to take payments both online and in the store. Has anyone used CS-Cart as a POS system? Any way to integrate with a credit card swipe machine?

Flow has done some work in this area. There's a reasonable thread on it in the forum. Unfortunately, 'POS' is too short to be used as a search term.

I doubt you will get integration with the swipe machine. Usually these are fairly secure and provided by a Merchant Account Provider for their exclusive use. Might want to review the T&C's of the Merchant Provider or contact them to see if they have a card reader that can be used to send data over a network (programmable).

Who (or what) is Flow? Any suggestions for finding the thread?

You could use a virtual terminal, something like PC Charge or x-charge to do the capture at the "POS" and have a payment type in CS-Cart for it (like "Paid in store" or "Paid in store - CC". It would be a separate application on the store computer but it's not difficult to implement. Check with their current CC processor to see if they have a virtual terminal available.

a pos must include something like amount tendered right?"
