POS built for Pennsylvania convenience, grocery and liquor stores

Pennsylvania is unusually simple on tax and unusually strict on alcohol. There are only two local add-ons in the whole state, so most operators need three tax profiles. Meanwhile spirits are state controlled and beer and wine carry hard per transaction volume caps the register has to enforce.

Serving independent retailers across Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Erie, Reading, Scranton and the rest of Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania rules, already configured

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

State sales tax

6%, plus Philadelphia and Allegheny

Pennsylvania allows a local add-on in only two places, 2% in Philadelphia and 1% in Allegheny County. Everywhere else is a flat 6%, so a statewide operator needs three tax profiles rather than one per municipality.

Lottery commission

5% on sales

The 5% agent commission is fixed in the Pennsylvania Code and inherited by every store. A sales growth incentive can add to it, which Storeveu tracks separately so the base commission and the incentive do not blur into one unverifiable number.

Spirits are state controlled

Not sellable in a c-store

Wine and spirits move through state operated stores, so a convenience store cannot stock spirits under any licence. Beer to go requires a restaurant licence and wine requires a further permit, and Storeveu enforces which categories your licence actually covers.

Per transaction volume caps

192 oz beer, 3 litres wine

Pennsylvania caps how much beer and wine can leave in a single transaction. This is a register level rule, not a licence level one, so Storeveu blocks the basket at the limit rather than leaving the cashier to total ounces in their head.

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.

Pennsylvania questions

How many tax rates does a Pennsylvania operator need to configure?

Three. Pennsylvania charges a flat 6% statewide and permits a local add-on in only two jurisdictions, 2% in Philadelphia and 1% in Allegheny County. That makes it one of the simplest states to configure, and Storeveu holds the effective rate on each store record so a mixed estate needs no manual work.

Can a Pennsylvania convenience store sell wine and spirits?

Spirits, no. Pennsylvania sells wine and spirits through state operated stores, so no retail licence lets a convenience store stock spirits. Beer to go requires a restaurant licence and wine requires a further expanded permit on top. Storeveu enforces the categories your licence covers so an ineligible item cannot be rung.

Does Storeveu enforce the Pennsylvania per transaction alcohol limits?

Yes. Pennsylvania caps a single transaction at 192 fluid ounces of beer and 3 litres of wine. Storeveu applies the limit to the basket, so the sale is stopped at the register rather than depending on a cashier adding up container sizes under queue pressure.

What lottery commission rate does Storeveu use for Pennsylvania?

The 5% agent commission set in the Pennsylvania Code is held at state level and inherited by every store, with a per store override available. Growth incentives are recorded as their own figures rather than folded into the commission rate, so the settlement report reconciles against what the Lottery actually 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.
