Features

Everything a modern shop needs on the counter — without forcing your ledger into a browser tab.

Checkout that feels instant

Catalog tiles, parked sales, tenders, and receipt branding tuned for busy counters.

  • Barcode scan-to-sell, cash/card/gift tenders, and parked sales when the queue piles up
  • Customer picker and credit tender when Solo unlocks the AR desk
  • Thermal + PDF receipts with store branding on paid packages
  • Keyboard-friendly flow so cashiers stay on the register, not the mouse

Inventory with pharmacy depth

Batches, labels, kits, and BOM when your shop mode needs them — lab-imported to one million SKUs without losing browse speed.

  • Active SKUs, stock adjusts, and FEFO batches when expiry matters
  • Keyset catalog pagination — first paint before the total count finishes
  • CSV import/export and full catalog tools on Solo+
  • Shop modes (pharmacy, grocery, general) keep the till relevant — not generic

Shifts you can trust

Open/close, Z-reports, and tender drill-downs that match the live drawer — readable even after tens of thousands of tickets in one session.

  • Open/close with float, session dashboard, and live drawer totals
  • Z-report analytics scoped to the full shift — not sliced by UTC midnight
  • Paginated tender drill-down — no loading every sale line at once
  • Devices panel for printers, drawers, and mobile scan helpers

Updates without drama

Signed releases for Linux and Windows, with path-safe apply and clear operator messaging.

  • Channel feeds for Linux-MiniBook3 and Windows-MiniBook3
  • Path-safe apply that refuses to wipe a running shop install root
  • Clear operator messaging when a candidate is missing or deferred
  • Same product surface on both platforms — no second training manual

Scale & reliability

Built to lead offline POS on load.

MiniBook3 Solo is engineered for category-leading load management, efficiency, and productivity. In our lab, the till kept operating with over one million product SKUs and over twenty million transactions in SQLite — without measured performance reduction. We keep optimizing; the counter stays calm.

Platforms

Linux-MiniBook3 and Windows-MiniBook3 — same contracts

Catalog that stays searchable

Prefix-first browse, keyset pagination, and filter stats that do not block the first paint — even when the aisle holds a million SKUs.

History that stays readable

Returns, shift sessions, and tender drill-downs paginate without loading the whole drawer into memory — tested past twenty million receipt rows.

Shifts that stay calm under load

Analytics and Z-report columns refresh quietly while sales keep landing — no full-column blink on every CompleteSale during a busy session.

Cashier-shaped load tests

JSON-driven `make load-transactions` rings real baskets on a running till — the same HTTP path your counter uses, not a shortcut INSERT script.

Figures come from internal MiniBook3 Solo lab runs (D73 one-million-SKU import, commerce-history growth toward 20M+ transactions, and live JSON transaction load). “No measured performance reduction” means core till flows — catalog browse, checkout, shifts, and history pagination — remained responsive on lab hardware. Results depend on your PC, disk speed, catalog shape, and daily volume — we publish evidence, not a universal SLA or third-party ranking.

Deeper on the floor

A different rhythm for the stories that need more room — still MiniBook3 tokens, still real photography.

Offline-first by design

The ledger lives on the merchant PC. Network drops pause connected features — they never freeze the till mid-sale.

  • Local SQLite remains the counter’s truth
  • Enterprise fleet sync catches up when the line returns (typically under five seconds online)
  • Free/Solo keep selling without waiting on a browser cloud

Credits, team, and the growing floor

Solo unlocks the desks Free only shows: customer credit, returns, multi-user roles, and spreadsheet exports.

  • Credits & settlements with FIFO settle and history
  • Returns / reversal desk with clear upgrade gates on Free
  • Team accounts for cashiers and managers — not a shared admin password forever

Features, answered

Offline checkout, Linux and Windows parity, and scale — without the brochure fog.

Does MiniBook3 work when the internet drops?

Yes. MiniBook3 is offline-first. Sales, stock, and shifts stay on the till. Connected features pause softly when the network is down; they do not freeze a sale already on the counter.

Is Linux MiniBook3 the same product as Windows?

Yes. Linux and Windows share the same product story — activation, packages, shifts, and catalog behaviour. Packaging and printers differ by OS; cashiers train once.

How large a catalog or sales history can it handle?

Lab-proven with 1M+ SKUs and 20M+ transactions under controlled load. Keyset catalog pagination and shift-scoped reporting keep the desk responsive even after heavy history.

What does Free unlock on day one?

A real register forever: catalog, cash/card checkout, barcode scan-to-sell, shifts, basic receipts, and device hooks — with honest Free capacity caps. Credits, team, exports, and full branding unlock with Solo.

Do shifts and Z-reports stay trustworthy at scale?

Open/close, live drawer totals, and Z-reports are scoped to the full shift — not sliced by UTC midnight. Tender drill-downs paginate so the till does not load every line at once.
