Hi, I am looking for a front end for my base that allows a pos experience for my store, or some integration between my base and an existing POS. i am trying to use as little software outside of airtable as possible.

If you want true POS capability you’ll want to find the right POS solution that integrates to Airtable (usually via Zapier) I’d be glad work this through with you. You want to leverage as much “off the shelf” capability as possible.

Actually I now have an in house programmer who works with airtable API. We have developed software that linkks lightspeed POS to our airtable bases. we have very complex inventory management needs and we do consignment and used product purchasing in large quantities, plus managing new product catalogs, so we do all of that in airtable and then we can create products in lightspeed via api from the data we have already entered in airtable. User databases too. Very fun!

Hi Jon, would you be able to share any information with me about your AirTable and Lightspeed syncing? I also work at a shop that buys used gear and does consignments (HiFi), and we’re looking to integrate the two systems. Would love to know more about what is needed, and would rather not reinvent the wheel!  -John
