3. Add discounts
4. Add custom notes
5. Add payment details

I was just wondering what would be the best mobile based UI to achieve this ? I am looking at other mobile based POS for reference, but if there is already some guideline/thoughts on this, please let us know.

i think PhoneGap or ionic would be a better choice and i will consider working on these mobile apps and any workflow idea will be helpful

@seehive Why not having it native using React Native and Frappe REST APIs ?

[seehive]

@palashjhabak yes, we can also consider React Native and definitely we will be using Frappe REST APIs,, i am trying to get some time to prepare some design ideas so that we can have some starting point

I think Frappe Team may prefer Kotlin Native.

[seehive]

any specific reason about Kotlin Native? i think React Native will server the same purpose but i would love to know the Frappe team point of view

[magic-overflow]

Frappe Team meantioned in the discussion. https://discuss.erpnext.com/t/sales-person-tracking/42605/4

@magic-overflow Any major advantages of Kotlin Native over React Native ?

[magic-overflow]

I have no experience in these both languages. You can join discussion with frappe team.
