Hello, I am interested in developing a hybrid solution for my POS, where the employees wouldn’t have to handle the cash; instead, we would use cash-managing hardware, that allows the customer to pay and get the change automatically. Is there any way we could link that to the Shopify POS app? Thank you.

Hi @AlexandraC ,

Were you able to find a solution for this?

Thanks,
