A note for visitors from Pakistan
This edition is not sold in Pakistan. Alcohol retail there is prohibited for most of the population and tightly restricted otherwise, so we do not offer it.
If you run a shop in Pakistan, the same software is available in editions for other trades, with prices in PKR and support in Urdu.
FAQ
Country questions
No. 01Which countries is Bottle Shop POS sold in?
The United States and the United Arab Emirates, the latter for licensed liquor retailers only. It is not sold in Pakistan.
No. 02Why not Pakistan?
Alcohol retail in Pakistan is prohibited for most of the population and tightly restricted otherwise, so we do not sell this edition there. Stores in Pakistan can use other editions, such as the convenience store edition, listed on the SmartPOS hub.
No. 03Can one account have stores in two currencies?
The software supports multiple currencies, but each business account has one base currency for reporting. A US business and a UAE business are normally separate accounts.
No. 04How does tax work in each country?
In the US you set a sales tax rate per store and prices exclude tax. In the UAE VAT is 5% and prices are entered and shown VAT-inclusive, with the VAT amount on the receipt.
No. 05Can receipts follow local layouts?
Yes. Receipt and invoice layouts are editable: business details, licence and tax numbers, bilingual text and footers.
No. 06Do you support ZATCA e-invoicing for Saudi Arabia?
A ZATCA module exists for the underlying software, but this edition is not sold in Saudi Arabia, where alcohol retail is not permitted.
No. 07Is my data stored in my country?
Data is hosted on our own servers; see the Security page for how it is stored and backed up. Ask us on your demo if you have a residency requirement.
