I'm creating an e-commerce site that will have a lot of stores, each one with his own reserved space and sales, as many other stores made with Drupal on the web, but with one difference: i want to put a POS machine on each physical store, consulting the Drupal site for sales.
Basically, the workflow is:
- People navigate through stores on the site and decide to buy
- People pay with credit card or whatever they choose
- Each store has a POS machine
- Every POS continuously asks the site for sales
- When a sale is made, the POS prints the invoice and the shop make the delivery
Am i crazy? Does anybody did something like this before with Drupal?
I know i'll have to deal with a lot of performance and security issues, but i really wanna make this with Drupal, to contribute back a lot throughout the evolution of the site.
Any insights?

POS <-> Drupal
Hi Pedro,
We recently worked with a client who already had Microsoft RMS Point of Sale system in place. They were able to connect RMS data to xCart, and we built a connection between xCart and Drupal. Not pretty, but it works.

with the commerce mod
This will be easier to implement since every item is a content type sm mid lg are each a content type or entity. So with a bit of thought You can pull total inventory at any point or the end of the year plus total sales for a period. all with rules and views. An Accounting module is coming also.
