Bigcommerce Point of Sale System

Question

Do you have a simple, inexpensive way to get in-store POS hardware to simply talk directly with Bigcommerce so we can, in effect, use the Bigcommerce shopping cart as its own POS system? We want an in-store system that uses a barcode scanner to just input order information for in-store sales into Bigcommerce the same way, in effect, a customer placing an on-line order does on his computer. We don't really need any of the other stuff that vendors of POS systems want to sell us. We just want something that talks directly to Bigcommerce. Can you help us?

Answer

Thank you for your e-mail.  You basically want Bigcommerce to be your point of sale system.  I'm sorry, but this isn’t quite what we do.  Instead, we get POS systems integrated with Bigcommerce.  We have nearly two dozen POS systems integrated with Bigcommerce and many others that are just "waiting" to be integrated.  Please see:

I understand this would require you to purchase one of these POS systems, but please take a look at the list because there are a lot of affordable point of sales systems today.  The cost of these integrations with Bigcommerce are all different, and you can find the current pricing here:

Please let me know if you need anything else.  Thank you.
