PurpleHere POS v3.28 Update

What's New

Install Purple POS as a desktop & mobile app

You can now install Purple POS like a native app — on Windows, macOS, Android, and iPhone — with a single click. No app store required. Your dashboard runs in its own window, with a dock/home-screen icon, and stays signed in.

  • One-click install on Chrome, Edge, and Safari (desktop + mobile)
  • Visit /install for step-by-step guides per device
  • Works alongside your existing browser — installation is reversible

Push notifications for orders, payments, and operations

Get OS-level alerts even when the app is in the background. New orders, kitchen alerts, payment confirmations, and supplier purchase orders ping your device the moment they happen.

  • New orders, kitchen overdue, payment received, low stock, staff call
  • Per-category on/off (turn off marketing, keep transactional)
  • Quiet hours support (e.g. mute push from 22:00 to 08:00)
  • In-app sound alert with chime, plus a stacked toast at the top-right
  • iOS 16.4+ required for push (older iOS still supports the installable app)

Self-managed restaurant mode

For brand and foodcourt managers tracking outlets that don't run Purple POS directly, you can now register a restaurant in data-only mode without forcing a subscription. Activate POS subscription later from Edit when you're ready.

Supplier subscription endpoint

Supplier admins can now query their own subscription via /api/subscriptions/my-plan (previously returned 403).

Mobile responsive polish

Forms, modals, and order detail headers now stack to a single column on phone screens. Especially helpful for supplier admins managing orders on the go.

Smaller fixes

  • Staff Manager edit modal now shows the username (was blank)
  • Login page language selector cleanly aligned to the login card's top-right corner
