# PointOfSale.net POS Home Page

> PointOfSale.net is a point-of-sale landing page for businesses that want to use phones, tablets, iPhones, iPads, and Android devices as registers. The page promotes a free plan, Tap to Pay/contactless payments, offline selling, stock and reporting tools, customer retention tools, and restaurant table-service features.

## Primary Page

- [POS home page](home-page): Standalone HTML/template page for PointOfSale.net.

## Automation

- [PointOfSale email automation](pointofsale-email-automation): Sends confirmation emails for POS home-page submissions.

## Core User Actions

- Start free: The hero and CTA buttons focus the email field, then open a step-two business signup modal.
- Create account: The modal submits a `start_free` POST with email, business name, location, phone, business field, employees, stores, optional website, and submitted timestamp.
- Sign up: The footer updates form submits an `updates` POST with email and submitted timestamp.

## Email Behavior

- `start_free` submissions trigger `pointofsale-email-automation` only when required business fields are present.
- `updates` submissions trigger the same automation with only email and submitted timestamp.
- The automation sends to the submitted customer email and copies the internal dev recipient.
- The updates email intentionally does not show blank business rows.

## Anti-Spam Behavior

- Both POST forms include a hidden honeypot field named `email_2`.
- Server-side template logic does not trigger email automation when the honeypot is filled.
- Client-side JavaScript prevents duplicate rapid submissions with a per-email, per-flow 10-minute browser cooldown and disables submit buttons while sending.
- The browser cooldown is not a global backend rate limit; stronger IP/account/device-independent throttling would require persistent server-side rate-limit storage or a backend function.

## Main Content Sections

- Hero: "Turn any phone into a full register"; emphasizes starting free.
- Pricing: Free, Standard, and Pro plan positioning.
- Offline selling: Orders and receipts continue when internet drops, then sync later.
- Payments: Contactless cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, gift cards, cash, and recorded payments.
- Platforms: iPhone, iPad, Android phones, and Android tablets.
- Dashboard/run counter: Sales, stock, loyalty, gift cards, reports, and best-seller insights.
- Growth tools: Upsells, promotions, customer winback, discounts, coupons, feedback, and a basic website.
- Restaurants: Table service and kitchen workflow on the same app.
- Trust: Encryption, monitoring, GDPR compliance, and secure staff sign-in.
- Updates signup: Email capture for product updates.

## Positioning Notes

- Present the product as practical POS software for small and growing businesses.
- Mention the free plan accurately: users can start free and upgrade only when they need more.
- Do not claim a card reader is required; the page emphasizes no terminal, no wires, and Tap to Pay on compatible phones.
- Do not claim hard global spam prevention; current protection is honeypot plus client-side cooldown and server-side required-field checks.
