#### A Receipt and Sales Tracker for Small Businesses (Point of Sale) with International Currencies

An estimated 6000 entries containing about 500 characters each can be stored locally on this application. However, anticipate the scenario where this amount is much less. Remember to download a backup of your data every so often. This application is still in development, however, it has been tested to work, just not with lots of data. You can always repopulate your data whenever you feel the need to by downloading the JSON file of your data. When uploading data to the app, do not alter the data and do not submit any other JSON data besides the one from the app.

If you see any bugs or want an improvement, please reach out via email.

**We are not responsible for any loss of data, or any losses incurred from using this application for any purpose including monetary.** I built this app to help others who were in my situation when I had a business. I lacked an efficient system to make basic receipts. I tried to include all data according to be compliant with New York State Business laws, but I could have missed something. Use with caution, and please enjoy.

NOTE: Only keep one window open at a time. Opening multiple windows and using the app can lead to data not being logged.
