Checkout, loyalty and gifts that bring the regulars back
Reward points, gift cards, split payments and a clean end-of-day count — the parts of a front register that make a neighbourhood pharmacy feel like one.
1At the register
What a front-store sale looks like
Scan the items, pick or add the customer, apply points or a discount, take payment in one or several methods, and print or skip the receipt. Most sales take a few seconds.
- Scan products (or search by name) — variations and lots are picked automatically or by staff.
- Select the customer to earn or redeem points and apply their price group.
- Choose payment: cash, card on your processor's terminal, gift card, points, or a split.
- Print the receipt in the customer's language, or finish without one.
2Loyalty
How reward points work
You set three numbers: how much spend earns one point, what one point is worth when redeemed, and when points expire. The register does the rest and prints the balance.
Worked example (your numbers will differ)
- Rule: every 1 unit of currency spent earns 1 point; 100 points are worth 1 unit off.
- A customer spends 40 → earns 40 points.
- After a few visits they have 520 points → they can take 5 off the next basket.
- Unused points expire after the period you set.

Full answerHide full answer
You decide how much spend earns a point, what a point is worth, a minimum order for redemption and when points expire. Customers see their balance on the receipt.
Can I sell and accept gift cards?
Works todayYes. Gift cards are sold like a product and redeemed through a custom payment method at the register.
Full answerHide full answer
Keep a simple record of card numbers and balances; ask on your waitlist call how other stores set it up. Gift cards are not FSA/HSA-eligible tender.
Can one sale be paid with cash and a card?
Works todayYes. Split a payment across cash, card, gift card and points in any combination.
Which card processors work with it?
Card payments run on your processor's own terminal; the POS records the payment type and amount. Ask on your waitlist call about specific processors.

We do not process cards and do not claim PCI certification. Your processor and terminal handle card data, which keeps it out of the POS.
Can I accept FSA/HSA cards at the front register?
PlannedNot through this POS yet. FSA/HSA support is planned and will only run through certified processors.
