POS built for Arkansas convenience, grocery and liquor stores

Arkansas layers city and county sales tax on top of the 6.5% state rate, and both are voter-approved local options rather than a state mandate, so the combined rate depends on the exact store address. Single-transaction local tax caps were repealed for general merchandise in 2008, so a store collects full local tax on the whole invoice, not a capped portion. Storeveu applies state-level rates that every Arkansas store inherits by default, with a per-store override so each location's actual combined rate rings correctly.

As of 1 January 2026 the state removed its share of the tax on food and food ingredients, but city and county tax keeps applying to those same items, so a bag of groceries never rings at zero. Candy and soft drinks are excluded from the food definition entirely and still pay the full 6.5% state rate plus local, right alongside food that qualifies. Storeveu's per-department tax rules ring the food-ingredient rate on qualifying items and the full state-plus-local rate on candy, soft drinks and prepared food on the same receipt.

The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery pays retailers a 5% rate on tickets sold and a separate 1% rate on prizes cashed, so it isn't one commission line, it's two. Storeveu tracks lottery books through inventory, active, depleted and settled status, and runs an end-of-shift ticket scan that works out tickets sold so the selling and cashing streams reconcile against the Lottery's own statement.

A qualifying grocery store can sell wine up to 21% alcohol by weight under its own permit, but only in a county where retail alcohol sale was already authorized as of 1 January 2017, and the store can draw no more than 20% of gross sales from alcoholic beverages. Spirits stay out of reach entirely, those need a separate, population-quota package store permit. Both alcohol and tobacco carry a hard 21 age line at the register. Storeveu's date-of-birth prompts enforce that 21 line, and role-scoped access keeps alcohol and tobacco categories limited to what a store's actual permit covers.
