# Store OS Overview

**Fynd Store OS** is an all-in-one retail operating system designed to digitize and streamline in-store operations across various retail formats. Built on top of the **Fynd Commerce** unified platform, it empowers businesses to enable assisted sales, checkout, and customer engagement from mobile devices, tablets, terminals, and kiosks.

## Modules Supported

Store OS currently supports multiple in-store selling channels through Android and iOS applications, as well as web-based solutions:

1. POS & mPOS
  - Terminal POS for full-fledged checkout at counters.
  - Mobile POS for lightweight, handheld checkout and assisted sales.
2. Clienteling (Assisted Selling)
  - **Endless Aisle**: Take orders for out-of-stock items.
  - **Distance Selling**: Enable digital storefronts for remote selling.
3. Scan & Go
  - Customer-led checkout by scanning product barcodes via mobile devices.
4. Self-Checkout Kiosk
  - Standalone kiosks for self-service purchases at retail stores.
5. Fynd & Go (Web-based extension)
  - Enables Self-Checkout via mobile and kiosk-based interfaces.


## Platform & Device Support

- Mobile & Tablet: Android and iOS supported.
- Terminal Devices: For POS counters (e.g., Posiflex).
- Kiosk: Dedicated Android-based kiosks.
- Web: Fynd & Go accessible via browsers.


## Backend & Configuration

All configuration and backend operations are powered by:

- Fynd Commerce : Central platform for catalog, promotions, OMS, and store operations.
- Extensions: For hardware integrations like cash drawers, printers, and EDC machines.
- Firestore: Used for storing advanced per-store/channel-level configurations.


## Unified Commerce Advantage

Store OS shares the same backend as the e-commerce website (storefront), enabling:

- Multi-channel fulfillment (e.g., Self Pickup + Home Delivery in a single order).
- Integrated customer journey across online and offline.
- Flexible selling configurations at the channel level.


USP
Orders can include both self-pickup and home delivery in the same cart - helping stores capture lost sales and improve average order value.
