I intend to start a webshop + a physical store (a "Point of Sale").
For the webshop, I am considering Drupal Commerce.
Of course, I want to integrate the Point of Sale software with the webshop management, in order to update the stock data as fast as possible.
I am aware of the existence of the module "Commerce Point of Sale (POS)". But it is still an Alpha release and it seems like the development has come to a stop.
Does anyone have experience with this module? Is it usable and safe to use it despite its Alpha release status?
Or does anybody know better alternatives?
Important to know: I am software engineer, so I should be able to cope with some technical difficulties.

Assuming your physical store has a good internet connection, commerce_pos works but make sure you use the dev (not alpha) version. There are also a couple of patches in the issues queue worth applying. I am currently using it on a project.

Can you list the ones you're using?

Thanks,

FYI I have committed 2 of those 3 patches to the 1.x-dev, the 3rd one is still in a needs work status.

Also, as an update, there is now a 2.x version that is more actively maintained and is at beta7 and should be hitting RC in a month or so.
