Safety First Plug & Play Prevent Data Loss

Stop Losing POS Orders!

Automatically enforce standard browsing mode. Protect your cashier sessions from private window data loss, accidental tab closes, and cache wipes.

Why is this module vital for your store?

Odoo POS works as an offline-first app, storing draft orders in the browser. In Private/Incognito tabs, this storage is temporary. Here is why that is dangerous.

Without Enforced Safe Browsing

  • Wiped Draft Tickets: If a cashier closes the tab, refreshes, or if the screen locks, all un-synced orders vanish.
  • Cash Discrepancies: Lost tickets lead to cash register differences that are impossible to reconcile.
  • Frustrated Customers: Cashiers have to re-ring lost orders from memory while customers wait.
  • Untracked Sessions: Cashiers can hide browsing histories, creating internal security loopholes.

With POS Block Incognito

  • Automatic Detection: Instantly blocks cashiers from launching the POS inside private/incognito tabs.
  • Safe Mode Redirection: Direct URL access in private tabs automatically bounces back to the secure backend.
  • 100% Data Safety: Forces standard browsing where orders are saved safely on the device disk.
  • Stress-Free Operations: No lost sales, no register discrepancies, and consistent security logs.

Key Advantages for Store Owners

Zero Lost Sales Tickets

Ensures that the browser can store all active cart details and offline queues on disk. A page refresh or closing the window will never wipe your sales.

Plug & Play Security

No complicated configuration or technical setups. Simply install the module, and your Point of Sale is immediately and silently protected.

Double Protection

Blocks POS access when clicked from the dashboard (showing a warning message) and automatically redirects direct bookmark links back to the main menu.

Better Cashier Experience

Prevents cashiers from making mistakes. Guides them back to normal mode with clear, simple instructions, saving hours of inventory frustration.

How It Works

1. Checks Window

Checks if the cashier is using a private browsing window when opening the Point of Sale.

2. Blocks Access

If private mode is detected, POS access is blocked before loading the sales screen.

3. Prompts Normal Mode

Prompts the cashier to use a normal browser window to keep all sales tickets 100% safe.

See It In Action

Here is how the module protects your checkout sessions by blocking access inside private windows.

Private Window Detection & Alert Blocked Access
Backend Click Blocked Dialog

When attempting to click "Continue Selling" or "Open Register" in private mode, the module blocks the access and shows a warning dialog, keeping your sales tickets safe.
