Frequently Asked Questions about Convenience Store POS System & Payment Processing

Do you support EBT?

Yes — EBT, SNAP, and WIC where the location is FNS-authorized. We handle the setup.

Can I track tobacco rebates?

Yes — Altria, RJR, and ITG scan-data fully supported and exported automatically.

Is inventory automated?

Yes — real-time SKU tracking, vendor receiving, mix-and-match pricing, and shrink reports.

Can I run multiple registers?

Yes — Exatouch and Clover both support multi-lane setups with shared inventory.

Do you install the system?

Yes — full nationwide install, hardware setup, age-verify configuration, and staff training.

Can I migrate from my current POS?

Yes — we handle data export, SKU import, and parallel run with your existing system to avoid downtime.

What is the best POS for a c-store?

Exatouch for high volume + lottery. Clover for simplicity. Square for new stores that don't sell lottery.

Does Square work for c-stores?

Yes for non-lottery stores. Square supports native scan-data, age verification, and EBT (Beta) via Square for Retail. However, Square's Terms of Service prohibit lottery sales and payouts — so if your store runs lottery, Exatouch or Clover is the right call.

Does Square allow lottery transactions?

No. Lottery sales and payouts are prohibited by Square's Terms of Service and can lead to account termination. Exatouch has built-in lottery integration; Clover supports it via app.

Does the POS prompt for age verification automatically?

Yes — auto prompts on every restricted SKU, configurable by SKU class (tobacco, alcohol, vape, lottery).

Can I run dual pricing or a cash discount program?

Yes — compliant on Clover, Exatouch, Dejavoo, Payanywhere, and Ingenico.

Do you integrate with gas pumps?

No — none of the three POS systems we offer for c-stores (Clover, Exatouch, Square) include native gas pump integration. For dedicated gas-station setups, see our Gas Station Processing page.

Do you offer free POS hardware?

Yes — all three POS systems (Clover, Exatouch, Square) qualify for free placement with qualifying processing volume via the MSC Advantage Program.

How long does installation take?

7–14 days for most stores. Same-day for Square. 14-day install guarantee on Clover and Exatouch.

Is there a long-term contract?

Depends on the path you choose. Purchase-equipment merchants run on a month-to-month merchant agreement — cancel anytime. Free placement merchants sign a 36–48 month agreement so we can recoup the hardware cost; terms reset to month-to-month after the placement period.
