<h3>About</h3>
My journey with LoyCart POS began in 2011, shortly after the initial release of WooCommerce. As a brick-and-mortar store owner, I immediately recognized the immense potential of building a simplified, seamless retail solution directly on top of such a powerful platform.
This project was a labor of love shared with my co-developer and dear friend, Kia Loy. This plugin is dedicated to his memory, as he sadly passed away in 2015. Kia’s passion and expertise are woven into the very fabric of LoyCart, and I am committed to maintaining his legacy through this work.
If you find value in this plugin, please consider making a donation. All proceeds will go directly to supporting Kia’s family.

<h3>Tips & FAQ</h3>
Here are some helpful tips and answers to common questions for LoyCart POS users:
How do I enable dark mode? 
– LoyCart POS automatically detects your system or browser dark or light mode preference based on the pos appearance Settings. You can also toggle dark mode using the toggle switch in the wordpress top bar menu.
How do I add or update products? 
– Add or edit products in WooCommerce as usual. Changes sync instantly to the POS grid. Use the barcode scan feature for fast product lookup.
Why is my product image missing? 
– If a product has no image, the POS displays a WooCommerce placeholder. To add an image, edit the product in WooCommerce and set a featured image.
How do I process a refund? 
– Click the Refund button in the cart, enter the original order ID from the customers receipt, and follow the guided steps. Refunds are validated for accuracy and security.
Can I use store credit/loyalty? 
– Yes! Enable Store Credit in POS Settings. Customers earn and redeem credit via WooCommerce coupons, visible in their My Account area.
What if my barcode scanner isn’t working? 
– Ensure your scanner is in keyboard mode. You can also use the built-in camera scan button in the POS search bar for mobile/tablet devices.
How do I print receipts or labels? 
– Use the Print buttons in the POS. On iOS, use the Share icon if the print dialog does not appear automatically.
