When a tobacco item is scanned at checkout, the POS triggers an age verification step as part of the transaction flow. The cashier is prompted to confirm age before the sale can continue, which makes it a built-in step of the process rather than something done separately or manually.

The system supports compliance by embedding required steps into the transaction workflow. For example, when tobacco items are added to a sale, the POS enforces prompts like age verification before completing the transaction, helping ensure the correct process is followed at checkout.

Tobacco inventory is updated automatically through sales and receiving activity. Each time a product is sold, the quantity is reduced in real-time. When stock is received or adjusted, those changes are reflected immediately, so inventory levels stay aligned with what’s actually in-store.

Yes. Variants are set up under a parent product, and each variation (such as flavor or pack size) is assigned its own stock keeping unit (SKU). This allows each variant to track inventory separately while still being grouped together for easier management and reporting.

Yes. Promotions and pricing rules can be applied at the item or category level within the pricing setup. This means you can configure discounts or special pricing for specific tobacco products without affecting other items in your catalog.

The POS is built to support fast checkout workflows, where key actions like scanning items, applying rules, and completing payment are streamlined. This helps cashiers process transactions quickly even when there’s high customer volume.

Yes. Each location is connected under a centralized system, allowing you to manage inventory, pricing, and reporting across stores. Data from each store flows into the same platform while still keeping location-level visibility.

Scan data reporting is generated from each tobacco item scanned and sold at the register. The POS captures product-level data during transactions, which is then compiled into reports showing what was sold, when it was sold, and in what quantities.

Yes. The system automatically generates scan data based on completed transactions. Each sale contributes to the reporting dataset without requiring manual entry, since the data is pulled directly from the checkout activity.

Scan data helps by showing detailed sales patterns at the product level. Retailers can use that data to adjust ordering quantities, refine pricing decisions, and identify top-performing items based on actual transaction history.
