POS built for New Jersey convenience, grocery and liquor stores

New Jersey has no local sales tax, but an Urban Enterprise Zone store charges a half rate of 3.3125% on most merchandise while still charging the full 6.625% on alcohol, cigarettes and services in the very same basket. That is two state rates inside one transaction, and it is not something a flat rate register can do.

Serving independent retailers across Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Elizabeth, Trenton, Camden and the rest of New Jersey.

New Jersey rules, already configured

These are the settings an NJ store has to get right. Storeveu ships with them in place rather than leaving them for you to build.

State sales tax

6.625%, no local tax

New Jersey levies no general local sales tax, so the base rate is the same in every town. That makes a multi store estate unusually simple to configure compared with a state that varies by county.

Urban Enterprise Zone rate

3.3125% on qualifying sales

A certified UEZ seller charges half the state rate on qualifying in zone sales, but alcohol, cigarettes, motor vehicles, energy and services stay at the full 6.625%. Storeveu resolves the rate per line, so one basket can legitimately carry both rates.

Lottery commission

5% on sales, 1.25% on cashing

New Jersey pays a sales commission plus a cashing commission on prizes paid at the counter. Storeveu records the two separately so the commission report reconciles against the Lottery statement rather than presenting one blended number.

Alcohol licences are capped

Most c-stores sell none

New Jersey caps package licences by population and limits how many one owner may hold, so most convenience stores and supermarkets sell no alcohol at all. Storeveu is configured for the categories your licence actually covers rather than assuming alcohol is present.

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.

Your data stays yours

Every record is scoped to your organization and store, and access is gated by role.

New Jersey questions

How does Storeveu handle the New Jersey Urban Enterprise Zone rate?

A certified UEZ seller charges 3.3125%, half the state rate, on qualifying in zone sales, while alcohol, cigarettes, motor vehicles, energy and services remain at the full 6.625%. Storeveu resolves the rate per line rather than per receipt, so a single basket can correctly carry both rates without the cashier splitting the sale.

Does sales tax vary between New Jersey towns?

No. New Jersey does not levy a general local sales tax, so the 6.625% state rate applies statewide. The exceptions are the reduced rate zones such as certified Urban Enterprise Zones and Salem County, which Storeveu handles as a store level setting rather than as a separate catalog.

What lottery commission rate does Storeveu use for New Jersey?

New Jersey pays a 5% commission on tickets sold plus a 1.25% cashing commission on prizes paid at the counter. Both are held at state level so every store inherits them, and Storeveu records sales and cashing as separate revenue streams so the report matches the Lottery statement.

Why can most New Jersey convenience stores not sell beer?

New Jersey caps retail package licences by municipal population and limits one owner to a small number of licences statewide, which makes licences scarce and expensive on the private market. As a result many convenience stores and supermarkets sell no alcohol. Storeveu is set up around the categories your licence covers, so nothing unsellable appears at the register.

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.
