POS built for Virginia convenience, grocery and liquor stores

Virginia runs four different general sales tax rates by region, from 5.3% up to 7.0% in the Historic Triangle, and a flat 1% rate on groceries on top of that. An operator has to configure tax by store location and then again by food versus non food inside every basket. Storeveu does both.

Serving independent retailers across Virginia Beach, Richmond, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Arlington, Alexandria and the rest of Virginia.

Virginia rules, already configured

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

Four regional rates

5.3%, 6.0%, 6.3% and 7.0%

Virginia combines a 4.3% state rate with a 1% local tax that every locality levies, giving a 5.3% floor statewide, then adds regional rates in Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, Central Virginia and the Historic Triangle. Storeveu holds the correct regional rate on each store record.

Groceries at a flat 1%

Statewide, regardless of region

Food for home consumption and essential hygiene products are taxed at 1% everywhere in Virginia, the local portion only. Alcohol, tobacco and prepared hot food are excluded and pay the full regional rate, so Storeveu applies the split per department inside every basket.

Lottery commission

Up to 5% on sales, 1% on prizes paid

Virginia compensates retailers on net ticket sales and again on the cash value of prizes they pay out. Storeveu records the two streams separately so the commission report reconciles against the Lottery rather than presenting one blended figure.

Spirits are ABC controlled

Wine and beer only in store

Virginia ABC is the sole retailer of distilled spirits, so a convenience store licence covers wine and beer in closed containers only. Storeveu enforces the categories your licence covers, with age prompts on both.

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.

Virginia questions

Why does Virginia need four different tax rates configured?

Virginia charges a 4.3% state rate plus a 1% local tax that every locality has levied, giving a 5.3% floor, then adds regional taxes that lift the rate to 6.0% in Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads and Central Virginia, 6.3% in several southern localities, and 7.0% in the Historic Triangle. Storeveu holds the correct regional rate on each store record, so a multi region operator keeps one catalog.

How does Storeveu handle the Virginia grocery tax?

Food for home consumption and essential personal hygiene products are taxed at a flat 1% across the whole state, independent of the regional rate. Alcohol, tobacco and prepared hot food are excluded and pay the full regional rate. Storeveu applies the distinction per department, so groceries and general merchandise ring correctly on the same receipt.

Can a Virginia convenience store sell spirits?

No. Virginia is a control state where ABC is both wholesaler and sole retailer of distilled spirits through government stores. A convenience store holds a retail off premises wine and beer licence, which covers wine and beer in closed containers only, and Storeveu enforces exactly those categories at the register.

What lottery commission rate does Storeveu use for Virginia?

Virginia compensates a licensed retailer on net ticket sales and separately on the cash value of prizes the retailer paid out. Both are held at state level so every Virginia store inherits them, and Storeveu records sales and prize payments as distinct streams so the settlement reconciles cleanly.

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.
