I am developing a React application that includes a POS that will run in several stores. I want to link the specific computer with a store, so when the POS is started, it automatically would send requests to the server with the store id the computer is linked to.
I think the only way is to get the mac address of the computer, and to use such mac address to link the pc to the store on the database, but I can't find a way to get the client mac address from React.
I don't want to use a cookie because the link between the store and the computer is a step that has to be performed by a supervisor, and they are not always available at the stores, and so the store would be unable to sell if the cookies al cleared from the browser until a supervisor arrives.
How can I get the client's mac address and, if not possible, how would you advise to handle this issue?
Thanks for your answer.
