🚀 Version 1.1.0 - The Enterprise Update - Changelog

1. Core Architecture & Stability

• Single Page Application (SPA): Rebuilt the frontend using Vue.js 3 and Tailwind CSS (via CDN) for zero-latency interactions without page reloads.
• Database Optimization:

• Introduced pos_orders table to store metadata (Transaction Codes, Cashier ID, Change Due) without polluting core Botble tables.
• Introduced pos_registers table for Shift Management.
• Optimized SQL queries to use DB::table for speed and compatibility across different Botble versions (handling missing columns like sku, weight, deleted_at safely).

• Order injection: Fixed logic to correctly populate ec_orders, ec_order_product, and payments tables so POS sales appear in standard Ecommerce Reports and Invoices.
• Address Fix: Implemented dummy address insertion (ec_order_addresses) to ensure POS orders appear in the main Admin Order List.

2. User Interface (UI/UX)

• "Apple-Style" Design: Modernized product grid with rounded corners, soft shadows, and hover effects.
• Multi-Tab Order Management: Added a browser-style tab system allowing cashiers to serve multiple customers simultaneously (Hold Order functionality).
• Dark Mode: Built-in toggle with persistent state for low-light environments.
• 
• Interactive Search: Added "Debounced" text search that filters products instantly as you type.
• Live Clock: Added HH:MM:SS digital clock in the header.
• Built-in Tools: Added a popup Calculator with backspace functionality.
• Responsive Layout: Sidebar cart, fluid grid, and collapsible menus.

3. Product & Inventory Management

• Smart Variations:

• Grid shows Parent products.
• Clicking a parent opens a Variation Modal.
• Variations are displayed as clickable "Chips" showing specific Stock, Price, and Name.

• Stock Logic:

• Visual indicators for "Low Stock" (e.g., "4 Left").
• Automatically disables "Add to Cart" if stock is 0.
• Handles "Unlimited Stock" (if storehouse management is off) correctly.

• Barcode Scanner Mode: Auto-detects if a search result is unique (exact SKU match) and automatically adds it to the cart, clearing the search bar for the next scan.

4. Checkout & Payment System

• Dynamic Payment Methods: Automatically fetches active gateways from Botble (Stripe, PayPal) + POS specific methods (Cash, M-Pesa).

• M-Pesa Integration (Daraja API):

• Native STK Push trigger.
• "Send Prompt" button in checkout.
• Phone number formatting (07XX -> 254XX).

• Smart Cash Modal:

• Auto-calculates Change Due.
• Prevents checkout if Amount Tendered < Total.
• Discounts & Coupons:
• Coupon System: Validates codes against ec_discounts table.
• Manual Discount: Switch between Fixed and Percentage based discounts.
• Shipping: Ability to add custom shipping costs on the fly.

• Tax Engine: Fetches product-specific tax rates from ec_tax_products for accurate VAT calculation (displayed as +16% badges).

5. Multi-Vendor Marketplace Support

• Auto-Detection: Detects if the logged-in user is an Admin or a Vendor.

* Data Isolation:

• Admins see All Products.
• Vendors see Only Their Products (Filtered by store_id).
• Dashboard Injection: Uses a high-priority Hook/Event Listener to inject the "POS Terminal" link into the Vendor Dashboard sidebar automatically.

• Secure Routes: Implemented api/vendor/* routes guarded by customer middleware.

6. Register & Shift Management

• Shift Enforcement: Locks the terminal screen until a register is opened with an Opening Float.

  • Optimized for 80mm Thermal Printers.

  • "Reprint Last Receipt" shortcut button.
