What a smoke shop needs from its register
These come with BuiltPOS or switch on from BuiltOFFICE. Each one links to the full module.
ID checks at the register
When an item needs an ID, the register asks before the item is added. Scan the barcode on the back of a driver's license with the device camera or a 2D scanner, or key in the date of birth. Every check is logged and shows up in a report.
Age Pro, an add-on, shows how often an ID-checked customer comes in and what they bought last. It stores a one-way hash of the ID, never the ID number.
About Age ProTobacco scan data
Each week, Sunday to Saturday in your store's time zone, a file is built from your sales and sent to Altria, including Philip Morris USA. Every send is kept with the manufacturer's reply. RJ Reynolds and ITG Brands are being rolled out.
