A retailer plans to deploy Dynamics 365 Commerce. You need to be able to scan items and collect payments for sales in a store by using a physical credit card device. The solution must run within a browser window. What should you implement?

Store Commerce for Web is the browser-based Point of Sale (POS) application for Dynamics 365 Commerce. It is designed to run in a supported web browser, fulfilling the core requirement. It provides comprehensive in-store transaction capabilities, including item scanning and payment collection. To interface with physical hardware such as barcode scanners and credit card payment terminals from a browser, it connects to a deployed hardware station. This architecture meets all the specified needs for a browser-based, in-store retail solution.

A. Power Apps: This is a low-code application development platform, not the standard, out-of-the-box POS solution for Dynamics 365 Commerce.

C. Store Commerce app: This is a dedicated application that must be installed on a device (e.g., Windows). It does not run within a browser window, violating a key constraint.

D. Ecommerce: This component is the online storefront for customer-facing web sales, not the application used by store associates for in-person transactions.

"The Retail hardware station enables the Point of Sale (POS) to connect to hardware peripherals such as receipt printers

and payment terminals." It further clarifies that this works for both the Store Commerce app and Store Commerce for Web

confirming that the browser-based solution can use a physical credit card device.
