How can website connect to samba pos3

I have Website of restaurant orders.
How can Connect Website with Sambapos3.

This currently is not possible, you can create an entity screen to view your website but at the moment there is no way to integrate website sales through samba. If this does happen you would probably need to upgrade to the newest version as V3 doesnt have any more updates as work is being focused on the new V5 version

Can i order in samba v3 from another source like android application?

You can’t, at least not natively. How do you expect the Website to “talk” to SambaPOS? What protocol? What language? That said, if you design a website that can read from and write to the SambaPOS Database, then you could theoretically place orders on the website.

Future version 5 will begin to implement Cloud Services, where this will likely be possible, but for now, website-integration is up to you, and your development skills.

SambaPOS runs on Windows only. There are no Apps for other devices, but you can connect to the Windows “server” using RDP from iOS or Android devices. Search for RDP here in the Forum for more information.

Hello @QMcKay

When will be the cloud version, samba 5 will be released ?

I don’t know when v5 will be released, and initially, it may not have Cloud Services. I do know this is the direction @emre wants to take things, and as far as I know it is a fairly high-priority. When it will be here, I can’t say, but I expect v5 will be announced and released in the near-future, while Cloud will probably be some time away yet.

Hi

good Day…

I ave got the api connectivity with the database.

Scenario is : We got the android app developed, which will be running within the premises and have direct connectivity to the database server of Samba POS V3. Android app is connecting through api using PHP & MSSql(Existing Samba POS v3 Database) Connected with the application…

Issue we found is, we are not able to find the tables which are affected wen we place an order. As when we place order using API, it donot reflects in the Samba POS v3 application.
If you can advice me the tables that affects while ordering using Samba POS, we will be done with this.

It seems to me if you were able to develop an Android app to work with SambaPOS then something as simple as locating the tables would be trivial challenge for you.

You can use this free tool to realtime monitor / list SQL scripts working for certain SambaPOS operations.
