Original Magestore POS Package is the package that only contains Magestore POS product originally (the package is built for widely usage base on Magento fresh installation, not on any customer environment-specific, so it does not contain any specific features/integration/bug fixing for your environment, some unexpected conflict with other extensions may occur when installing or after the POS installed).

Notice

This guide applies to the brand new installation of Original Magestore POS on your website (you don’t have any Magestore POS installed on your website yet). In case that you want to migrate from the old Magestore POS system or upgrade across lines of POS, please contact with Magestore Support Team to get a suitable guideline.
