New York pays the store 3.5 cents for every deposit container it takes back, on top of refunding the nickel. That makes redemption an earnings line rather than a chore, and it only works if the register and the back office count containers properly. Storeveu keeps deposit out of the taxable subtotal and counts what you are owed.
Serving independent retailers across New York City, Buffalo, Yonkers, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany and the rest of New York.
These are the settings an NY store has to get right. Storeveu ships with them in place rather than leaving them for you to build.
4% plus 3% to 4.875% local
Every county and several cities add their own rate, taking combined rates to between 7% and 8.875%, with New York City and Yonkers at the top. Storeveu holds the effective rate per store so a Buffalo and a Brooklyn location share one catalog.
5 cents, plus 3.5 cents handling
New York refunds the 5 cent deposit you advanced and pays a 3.5 cent handling fee on every container you take back. Storeveu keeps the deposit outside the taxable amount, as the state requires, and counts redemption volume so the handling fee shows up as income rather than disappearing into the drawer count.
6% on sales
The 6% agent commission is set by the Lottery and inherited by every New York store. Lottery products are exempt from sales tax, so Storeveu keeps them out of the taxable subtotal automatically.
Beer, cider and wine products only
A New York grocery or convenience store may sell beer, cider, mead and wine products, but never wine or spirits, which are confined to licensed wine and liquor stores. Storeveu enforces the categories your licence actually covers.
The register is offline first. Sales keep ringing and sync the moment the connection returns.
Starter and Pro are billed per store with no long term contract and no early termination fee.
Every record is scoped to your organization and store, and access is gated by role.
A 15 to 20 minute walkthrough on a fully loaded store, with your state's tax, deposit and lottery rules already switched on. No contract, no pressure.

Yes, and it is the part most systems miss. New York reimburses the 5 cent deposit you refunded and adds a 3.5 cent handling fee for each container you accept. Storeveu counts containers through the Bottle Redemption screen so the handling fee is visible as earned income, rather than being buried inside a drawer variance at close.
No. The deposit is not part of the taxable amount, so it must ring as its own separate line rather than inflating the taxable subtotal. Storeveu applies it that way automatically, which keeps the sales tax return correct without anyone adjusting figures afterwards.
It can sell wine products such as coolers, but not wine itself, and never spirits. New York confines wine and spirits to licensed wine and liquor stores, and an owner may hold an interest in only one such store statewide. Storeveu enforces the categories on your licence so an ineligible item cannot be rung.
The 6% commission on lottery sales is held at state level so every New York store inherits it, with a per store override where an agreement differs. New York publishes no separate standing rate for cashing winning tickets, so Storeveu reports commission on sales rather than inventing a cashing percentage.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Run multiple locations from one back office with per-store pricing and inventory, plus a five-tier role hierarchy and custom roles.
Every record is scoped to your organization and store, access is permission-gated by role, and one tenant can never see another’s data.
