What Are Plugins And Do I Need Them?
Plugins are small, but effective software modules that seamlessly integrate with Tagrain and contain feature extending functionalities.
The basic premise of a plugin is to let you subscribe to only those features that are actually required by the business. Plugins help you to improve your ROI without compromising on application features that are a must for your business.
You can subscribe to and activate plugins depending upon the needs of your business. Plugins allow you to increase your application landscape based on the demands and growth of your business. The application grows with your business.
Plugins can also be subscribed by the Community edition users. Subscribing to one or many plugins will upgrade your Community edition to Enterprise, which is a paid subscription. In the Enterprise edition you pay for the number of POS terminals + the number of plugins. Please note that the plugin pricing is based on the number of stores that you have in your setup.
The plugin - Hospitality for Quick Serve and Fine Dining is included in both the editions - COMMUNITY and ENTERPRISE. You just need to activate the plugin from the Purchase Subscription page. The plugin - Multiple Units of Measure, once activated, cannot be deactivated.The plugin - Scan and Order is license based. This means the amount you pay depends on the number of QR Codes that you generate for your tables. You can only generate as many QR Codes for your tables as the number of QR Codes that you have licensed.
