State sales tax
6.35%, no local tax
Connecticut levies no municipal or county sales tax, so 6.35% applies statewide and an estate needs one tax rule. Meals and certain beverages ring at the higher 7.35% rate, which Storeveu applies per department.
Connecticut · CT
POS built for Connecticut convenience, grocery and liquor stores
Connecticut doubled its bottle deposit to 10 cents in 2024 and widened it to cover water, juice, tea, coffee and energy drinks. That is double the nickel charged next door in Massachusetts and New York, on a much longer list of products, so a store near the border is running two different rules within a few miles.
Serving independent retailers across Bridgeport, New Haven, Stamford, Hartford, Waterbury, Norwalk and the rest of Connecticut.
Connecticut rules, already configured
These are the settings a CT store has to get right. Storeveu ships with them in place rather than leaving them for you to build.
Bottle deposit
10 cents, widened in 2024
The deposit rose from 5 cents to 10 cents on 1 January 2024 and now reaches water, juice, tea, coffee and energy drinks as well as the traditional carbonated and malt categories. Storeveu resolves the deposit from the product, so a cooler holding both covered and uncovered drinks rings correctly.
Lottery commission
5% on sales, 1% on cashing
Connecticut pays on tickets sold and again on tickets cashed. Storeveu records the two separately so the commission report reconciles against the Lottery statement instead of a single blended number.
Alcohol at the register
Package store permit model
Connecticut runs a permit based system administered by the Department of Consumer Protection, with package stores holding the off premise permit. Storeveu enforces the categories your permit covers, with a date of birth prompt on alcohol and tobacco.
Keeps selling when the internet drops
The register is offline first. Sales keep ringing and sync the moment the connection returns.
Month to month, no contract
Starter and Pro are billed per store with no long term contract and no early termination fee.

Connecticut questions
What is the current Connecticut bottle deposit?
It is 10 cents per container. Connecticut doubled the deposit from 5 cents on 1 January 2024 and at the same time widened the scope to include water, juice, tea, coffee and energy drinks alongside the carbonated and malt categories already covered. Storeveu resolves the right amount from the product record, so a mixed cooler rings correctly without the cashier deciding.
Why does my Connecticut store charge more deposit than my Massachusetts store?
Because the two states set different rates. Connecticut is 10 cents on a broad product list, Massachusetts is 5 cents on a narrower one. Storeveu holds deposit rules per store, so each location applies its own state rule from one shared catalog, which matters for an operator working either side of the border.
Does Connecticut have a local sales tax?
No. Connecticut levies no municipal or county sales tax, so the 6.35% state rate applies everywhere. The rate that does differ is on meals and certain beverages, which ring at 7.35%. Storeveu applies that per department so prepared food and packaged grocery are handled correctly on the same receipt.
What lottery commission rate does Storeveu use for Connecticut?
Connecticut pays a 5% commission on tickets sold plus a 1% commission on tickets cashed. Both are held at state level so every store inherits them, and Storeveu records selling and cashing as distinct revenue streams so the report matches what the Lottery pays.
Common questions
How much does Storeveu cost?
Plans start at $39/mo (Starter) and $129/mo (Pro) per store, billed month-to-month with no contract or early-termination fee. Most modules are add-ons you turn on per store, see the pricing page for the full list.
Does Storeveu work offline?
Yes. The register is offline-first, it keeps ringing sales with no internet and syncs automatically the moment the connection returns, so a dropped router never stops checkout.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Storeveu is month-to-month per store with no long-term contract and no early-termination fee, change tiers or cancel a store anytime.
Do I need special hardware?
No. Storeveu runs on standard Windows PCs with common receipt printers, cash drawers and PAX/Dejavoo terminals, bring your own, or buy the E15W dual-screen terminal.
How long does it take to switch from my current POS?
Most stores go live in 1-3 weeks. The team imports your catalog and customer list from systems like Square, Clover, Lightspeed or Heartland, usually overnight.
Can I manage multiple stores?
Yes. Run multiple locations from one back office with per-store pricing and inventory, plus a five-tier role hierarchy and custom roles.
Is my store data private and secure?
Every record is scoped to your organization and store, access is permission-gated by role, and one tenant can never see another’s data.
