@narisolutions/medusa-plugin-pos

Medusa v2 plugin that adds the product endpoints any POS (Point of Sale) app needs. Built by Nari Solutions.

Without these custom endpoints, a POS talking to Medusa's generic API has two problems: stock isn't checked automatically when adding items to a cart, and prices come back raw — not context-calculated. This plugin's /pos/* endpoints return live inventory quantities per variant and context-calculated prices (?currency_code=), plus a ?custom_fields= option to choose exactly which product fields you fetch.

Installation

yarn add @narisolutions/medusa-plugin-pos

Setup

Add the plugin to your medusa-config.ts:

import PosPlugin from "@narisolutions/medusa-plugin-pos"

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    PosPlugin({
      defaultCurrencyCode: "usd", // optional — used when ?currency_code= is omitted
      rateLimit: {               // optional — per-IP rate limiting
        windowMs: 60_000,        // 1 minute window
        max: 100,                // max requests per window
      },
    }),
  ],
})

Endpoints

All endpoints require an admin bearer token (Authorization: Bearer <token>).

GET /pos/products/:sales_channel_id

Returns all published products for a sales channel, with inventory quantities per variant.

The default field list covers core product/variant fields. Fields like translations.* are not included by default — opt in via ?custom_fields=translations.*.

Response: array of product objects.

GET /pos/product-by-barcode/:sales_channel_id/:ean

Looks up a single product by barcode value, with inventory quantities.

The :ean path parameter is matched first against the variant barcode field, then falls back to the ean field. This means physical barcodes stored in barcode work out of the box — ean is the fallback for stores that populate that field instead.

Response: single product object. Returns 404 if no variant matches either field.

GET /pos/health

Returns { "status": "ok" }. Requires auth. Use for backend health checks from your POS.

Authentication

Obtain a bearer token from the Medusa admin auth endpoint:

POST /auth/user/emailpass
{ "email": "...", "password": "..." }

Use the returned token as Authorization: Bearer <token> on all /pos/* requests.

Frontend usage (example)

const res = await fetch(
  `/pos/products/${salesChannelId}?currency_code=usd`,
  { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` } }
)
const products = await res.json()

const res = await fetch(
  `/pos/product-by-barcode/${salesChannelId}/${ean}?currency_code=usd`,
  { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` } }
)
const product = await res.json()
