Cash Register Connections

Buckaroo POS terminals can be connected with cash register systems through two primary methods:

1. Serial/USB Cable (ECR): This is suitable for stationary terminals.
2. Wireless/Cloud Connection (WECR): This method is available for all types of terminals via an API/Service.

Serial Connection

In a serial connection, the terminal is linked to the cash register system via a serial/USB cable. This setup allows for automatic transaction triggering.

• Process:
  1. The cash register sends a 'trigger' to the terminal.
  2. The terminal receives the trigger automatically.
  3. The customer can immediately offer their payment card to complete the transaction.

Wireless/Cloud Connection

The wireless connection method involves an API/Service for communication between the terminal and the cash register system.

• Process:
  1. The cash register sends the transaction details to the terminal via the internet.
  2. A number key must be pressed on the terminal to trigger the terminal to 'pick up/start' the transaction.

Development Note

• Updates and Specifications: It is crucial to check for the latest updates to specifications before starting any development work, as the specifications for these connections are still under development.
