Hello, Okay so it seems so far like the problem you are facing is simply your inability to use the WebPOS application because there are no terminals defined. Is this correct?
If yes, then this is mostly likely just some missing seed / demo data that we should add to the WebPOS component. I suggest to create a JIRA for this and we can tackle this issue over there to resolve it permanently.
