(B2B Invoicing & Billing, Live, Main Product) - [Chains ERP Point of Sale](https://thegrid.id/profiles/chains_erp): Chains ERP Point of Sale is a merchant checkout application that businesses enable within their Chains ERP workspace to process in-person sales. It tracks orders through creation, preparation, and payment stages in real time, matches incoming mobile money payments to open orders automatically, and lets staff sign in with an email and PIN separate from the main finance account. The system feeds tips, deductions, and per-staff sales data directly into the payroll module, and accepts mobile money, Bitcoin, and stablecoin payments at checkout. (Merchant Payment Gateway, Live) - [Chains ERP Bitcoin Payment Portal](https://thegrid.id/profiles/chains_erp): The Chains ERP Bitcoin Payment Portal is a hosted, self-custodial Bitcoin payment node that merchants access at a dedicated subdomain with its own login, separate from the main finance account. It generates on-chain and Lightning Network payment requests denominated in fiat currency, locking the exchange rate at checkout, while the merchant retains full control of the wallet and private keys. Confirmed payments sync automatically into the connected accounts receivable records for reconciliation and audit reporting. The portal is aimed at merchants who want to accept Bitcoin alongside mobile money and bank transfers without exposing custody of funds to the platform operator.
