bridge armedCommander Raspberry Pi Appliance

Put the Raspberry Pi beside Commander and use it as the site-level bridge for transactions, webhook intake, and inventory sync.

This starter is built for the exact on-site pattern you described: the Pi lives on the Commander network, exposes a local dashboard, can manually pull transaction data, can receive `SALES_MONITOR` events, and stages inventory edits before pushing them upstream.

On-site Commander bridge

Run this box on the same LAN as Commander. The Pi can poll for new sales, receive `SALES_MONITOR` events, and push local inventory changes upstream.

Webhook intake on the Pi

Point Commander Event Manager or your reverse proxy to /api/webhooks/verifone on this device. That gives the Pi near-real-time sales updates without waiting for the next manual pull.

Automatic pull loop

disabled

Run the companion puller service on the Raspberry Pi to keep transactions moving into the live feed even before Commander webhooks are fully enabled.

How the Pi should be wired

Put the Raspberry Pi on the same Ethernet network as the Commander site controller or on a secure routed segment that can reach Commander over HTTPS. The Pi does not need to replace the POS lane; it acts as a local bridge appliance beside it.

Inventory Queue

Local inventory staging on the Raspberry Pi

Edit pricebook rows here first. The Pi keeps those changes locally, marks them `pending-push`, and then sends them to Commander when you hit the push action.

Production Notes

What still gets mapped per Commander site

Transaction pulls

The Pi-side app is ready to poll. For live use, you fill in the exact transaction command name and any response-mapping tweaks from your Verifone partner documentation.

Inventory pushes

Local inventory edits already queue correctly. The final step is matching the outbound payload key and XML or field contract to the command your Commander reseller enables.

Event-driven sync

The webhook route is already there. Once Commander Event Manager points at this Pi, new sales can arrive without waiting for the next manual pull.

Automatic polling

A dedicated Pi puller service can now call a protected internal route on a schedule, so the remote web app keeps refreshing even if live Commander webhooks are not set up yet.
