Résumé
eThor is developing a product that is a physical cord that will be used to connect the merchants point of sale system and their printer. Embedded in the middle of the cord will be a small computer which will be used to perform the following actions:
1) When a receipt is sent from the merchant POS to the printer, the computer that is embedded in the cord will intercept the receipt data and send it to eThor in the cloud (likely via WiFi). eThor will then parse that data and store it in our database.
2) eThor will then also be able to append a QR code to the bottom of a customer receipt, which will enable the customer to scan the QR code and do things like contactless payments or sign up for loyalty program

Description (French)
eThor développe un produit qui est un cordon physique qui sera utilisé pour connecter le système de point de vente du commerçant et son imprimante. Au milieu du cordon se trouvera un petit ordinateur qui sera utilisé pour effectuer les opérations suivantes : 1) lorsqu'un reçu est envoyé du point de vente du commerçant à l'imprimante, l'ordinateur intégré au cordon interceptera les données du reçu et les enverra à eThor dans le nuage (probablement par WiFi). eThor analysera ensuite ces données et les stockera dans notre base de données; 2) eThor sera également capable d'ajouter un code QR au bas du reçu du client, ce qui permettra au client de scanner le code QR et de faire des transactions comme des paiements sans contact ou de s'inscrire à un programme de fidélité.
