1. Change Description
Enable Cloud POS to support activating and running multiple registers on the same physical device (e.g., a laptop or desktop) simultaneously.
This should allow users to open multiple Cloud POS sessions in parallel - such as in different browser tabs or windows, each session representing a separate register ID, without the system blocking activation due to the device ID constraint.
2. Business Justification
Back‑office and IT operations teams frequently need to validate and test multiple retail configurations, including:
- Different store setups and concepts
- Brand variations
- Price clusters
- Diverse register configurations
- Multi‑store or multi‑channel scenarios
Today, supporting this work requires teams to create and manage multiple virtual machines, each serving as a separate device to bypass Cloud POS register‑per-device restrictions. This creates significant overhead in:
- Environment setup and maintenance
- Time required for testing
- Hardware resource consumption
- Operational flexibility during configuration validation
- Cost
Enabling multiple registers to run on the same device, would dramatically increase productivity. It would streamline testing processes, reduce VM dependencies and improve lead time of delivering changes to production.
