Frequently Asked Questions — UK Convenience Store POS
Do I have to enter all grocery barcodes manually?
No. The system comes pre-loaded with over 100,000 UK FMCG product barcodes covering all major UK grocery, drinks, tobacco, alcohol, chilled food, and confectionery brands.
How does Challenge 25 protection work on the till?
When an age-restricted item (e.g. beer, tobacco, vape, energy drinks) is scanned, the till freezes and flashes a high-visibility Challenge 25 verification prompt, requiring the cashier to confirm customer age before proceeding.
Can this system split 0% zero-rated food and 20% standard VAT?
Yes. The software automatically applies HMRC VAT Notice 700 rules, separating zero-rated milk, bread, and fruits from standard-rated confectionery and alcohol for seamless quarterly VAT returns.
Are there any recurring monthly subscription fees?
No. You pay £399 once and own your lifetime software licence outright. There are zero monthly software subscriptions and zero per-scan fees.
