v1.3.1 is out with UI/UX improvements...

Not currently. It can be added though if there is enough interest.

Why would you want the exchange rate fixed? To reduce volatility?

Cam u set ur own exchange rate?

Hi all,

I run the Bitcoin meetups where I live and some of our members requested a Bitcoin PoS that is easy to use but also allows for pre-defined items.

I have created such an app and I would very much like your feedback / comments / experiences !

It is currently in beta so searching in the play store for "Bitcoin PoS" might not show it. To be safe use the opt-in url:

Description / features:

This is a simple to use Bitcoin Point of Sale application for merchants who want to start accepting bitcoins in their stores/businesses. The app is intuitive to use and you only need to scan or paste a bitcoin address to start accepting payments.

Features:
- Easy to use user interface
- Cart functionality
- Merchants can pre-set items for selling
- Independent app / no login required
- Supports BIP 21 (Bitcoin URI scheme) / actually it requires BIP 21 for clients for better experience (most wallets support it by default anyway)
- Uses Yahoo's Finance API to get exchange rates
- Uses Blockr's API for accessing the Bitcoin network
- Allows export of transactional history to .csv to ease accounting
- Supports English and Greek languages
- Supports more than 45 currencies

It currently supports the following currencies: EUR USD, GBD, CNY, INR, JPY, RUB, ARS, AUD, BDT, BRL, CAD, XAF, DZD, CLP, COP, CZK, EGP, AED, GHS, HUF, IDR, IRR, ILS, KZT, KES, MYR, MXN, MAD, NZD, NGN, PKR, PEN, PHP, RON, SAR, ZAR, KRW, SDG, SEK, CHF, THB, TRY, UGX, UAH, UZS, VEF and VND.

If you are using another currency please contact me and I will add the currency required.

The project is open source (MIT License) and available at: https://github.com/karask/bitcoinpos . The repository can be used as a base to create more custom PoS solutions. Feel free to make pull requests to incorporate new features.

I provide one screenshot to give an idea but you can find more in play store.
