i ran across a reference to oscommerce in the slides of a tutorial i presented at o’really oscon in 2002(!) where i ran through of a survey of major php applications, and i thought that meant i had missed one in my round-up of open-source php point-of-sale applications.

but it’s an ecommerce platform, not a point-of-sale system and it doesn’t look like it has a module or add-on to provide a point-of-sale interface.

speaking of that, there are some point-of-sale add-ons for woocommerce, which is itself the ecommerce add-on to wordpress. it looks like the only open-source/free ones are built specifically for use with square or paypal terminals.
