POS built for Vermont convenience, grocery and liquor stores

Vermont charges 15 cents deposit on spirits bottles against 5 cents on everything else, and the handling fee the store earns back differs by container type too. One department is the same agency for both liquor and lottery, which is unusual and shapes how a Vermont store reports.

Serving independent retailers across Burlington, South Burlington, Rutland, Barre, Montpelier, St. Albans and the rest of Vermont.

Vermont rules, already configured

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

State sales tax

6%, plus an optional 1% local

Vermont municipalities may adopt a 1% local option tax, taking the combined rate to 7%. Storeveu holds the effective rate on the store record, so a Burlington and a rural location share one catalog.

Two tier bottle deposit

5 cents, or 15 cents on spirits

Vermont charges 5 cents on covered containers but 15 cents on liquor containers over 50 ml, and the handling fee the store recovers differs by container type. Storeveu resolves the tier from the product record, so a cashier ringing a mixed basket never picks between rates.

Lottery commission

Varies by game

Vermont pays a different commission on in state games than on the multi state draws. Storeveu holds the rates at state level so the store inherits them, and reports by game rather than flattening everything into one percentage.

Spirits are state controlled

One department for liquor and lottery

Vermont is a control state for spirits, and the same department administers both liquor and the lottery. Storeveu keeps the two reporting trails distinct so agency obligations and lottery settlement do not get mixed.

Keeps selling when the internet drops

The register is offline first. Cash sales keep ringing and upload on their own when the connection returns.

Month to month after 3 months

Starter and Pro are billed per store with a 3 month minimum and no early termination fee on the software.

Your data stays yours

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

Vermont questions

Does Storeveu handle the Vermont 15 cent deposit on spirits?

Yes, and it is the reason a generic POS struggles here. Vermont charges 5 cents on most covered containers but 15 cents on liquor containers over 50 ml. Storeveu resolves the tier from the product record, so a cashier ringing a basket that mixes beer and spirits never has to know which rate applies.

Does every Vermont town charge the same sales tax?

No. The 6% state rate is the floor and a municipality may adopt a 1% local option tax on top, giving 7%. Storeveu holds the effective rate on the store record, so each location rings its own correct rate while sharing one catalog and one back office.

Can a Vermont convenience store sell spirits?

Vermont is a control state for spirits, so they reach the public through the state system rather than ordinary retail. A convenience store sells beer and wine. Storeveu enforces the categories your licence covers, and keeps agency reporting separate where a store holds one.

Will Storeveu work in a rural Vermont store with poor internet?

Yes, for cash. The register is offline first. It keeps ringing cash sales with no connection at all and uploads them on its own when the line returns, which matters across much of rural Vermont where connectivity is not dependable. Card terminals need the internet to reach the processor.

Common questions

How much does Storeveu cost?

Every plan is priced per store and billed monthly. The software has a 3-month minimum, then runs month to month with no early termination fee. Starter covers the register, the back office and the AI assistant. Growth adds lottery, fuel, loyalty, invoice scanning and tobacco compliance. Restaurant is built for restaurants and bars, and Pro includes every add-on. Current prices are always on the pricing page.

Does Storeveu work offline?

Yes, for cash. The register is offline-first: it keeps ringing cash sales with no internet and uploads them on its own when the connection returns. Card terminals need the internet to reach the processor.

Is there a long-term contract?

The software has a 3-month minimum, then runs month to month with no early termination fee. Card processing is a separate 36-month agreement. Any early exit fee is listed on your application before you sign, and other charges can apply on a default, such as two months with no sales, so read the processing terms first. You can change tiers anytime.

Do I need special hardware?

No. Storeveu runs on standard Windows PCs with common receipt printers, cash drawers and 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.
