Changelog

1.0.7 July 2026 Latest

New Features

Continuous Scan Mode — A pin toggle keeps the POS camera scanner open after each scan, so cashiers can ring up a whole basket (drinks, candy bars, groceries) without opening and closing the scanner for every item. The last choice is remembered on the device.
On-Scan Feedback — Each successful scan shows the product name, "Added to cart", and price for a moment before fading, with a beep and vibration so the cashier never has to look away from the scanner.
Flashlight Toggle — Turn on the camera flashlight for low-light checkout lanes with a single tap.
Draggable Cart Button — The cart button on the POS screen is now a floating button you can drag to any edge, so it never blocks your product grid.

Improvements

Floating Camera Scanner — The camera scanner is now a floating, rounded card that hovers above the sales transaction instead of a full-screen takeover. Larger preview, background still visible — it feels like a lightweight camera widget.
Smarter Re-Detection — Scanner re-detection is now debounced, so holding a barcode in front of the camera adds the item once, not repeatedly.

1.0.6 July 2026 Released

New Features

Multi-Currency Split Payments — Pay for a single order partially in HTG and partially in USD. Toggle between currencies during checkout, with real-time exchange rate conversion and accurate change calculation displayed in the receipt.

Improvements

Reliable Checkout Architecture — New sale coordinator with offline-first design, Firestore persistence, and a durable outbox layer. Sales complete faster and never hang, even with spotty connectivity.
Multi-Unit Product Receipts — Receipts now show what was actually sold with unit labels: "Rice — Bag ×3" or "Rice — Box ×1" with "1 Box = 20 Bags" for bulk items. Order details and cart also reflect multi-unit quantities.

Payment & Subscription Handling on Web — The web app gracefully redirects payment and subscription flows to the Android app. Clear messaging replaces failed paywall and checkout screens.

Fixes

Composite Product Stock Deduction — Selling a box/pack now correctly deducts the right number of base units from inventory (e.g., 1 Box of 20 removes 20, not 1).
Variant Quantity State — Fixed a bug where share quantity state between variant dialog options caused incorrect values.
