Point of sale for smoke shops

Check IDs at the register, send the weekly tobacco scan-data file without a spreadsheet, and give regulars a reason to come back.

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 Pro

Tobacco 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.
