Point of sale in Sharjah
Point of sale software for shops and cafes in Sharjah
Business in Sharjah is shaped by workshops, factories and industrial estates, wholesale and re-export trade and a busy retail and commercial market. For a shop or cafe counter, that decides what the till has to do all day. TAQNIX ERP gives your counter a fast cashier screen, receipts that show 5% VAT in Arabic and English, cash and card payments and a daily closing, on the same books as your invoices and purchases.
Why counters in Sharjah are different
Workshops, factories and industrial estates
Trade counters for workshops and parts suppliers mix walk-in cash sales with account customers who pay later. Both should end up in the same books.
Wholesale and re-export trade
Wholesale counters ring up many small cash sales next to large credit orders. The point of sale should handle both without a second system.
A busy retail and commercial market
On a busy retail street every second saved at the till shortens the queue, and a clear receipt cuts disputes.
What the point of sale does at your counter
Receipts and totals are in UAE dirhams, with the VAT shown as its own amount.
A fast cashier screen
Pick items and take payment in a few taps, so the queue keeps moving at your busiest hour.
Receipts that show the VAT
Every receipt shows 5% VAT clearly and prints in Arabic, English or both.
Cash and card
Record whether each sale was paid in cash or by card.
A daily closing
Close the day and see the cash and card takings added up, ready for review.
Credit notes for returns
Correct a returned sale with a credit note against the original, not by editing the receipt.
Purchases from suppliers
Raise purchase orders to your suppliers and keep their bills with them.
The cashier screen
Ring up sales at the counter, take cash or card and print the receipt. Built for shops and cafes.

The pictures come from a design prototype of the Saudi edition: amounts are in SAR, VAT is 15% and some panels mention ZATCA. ZATCA does not apply in the UAE; the edition for the UAE is set up for 5% VAT.

Point of sale questions from Sharjah
How does the daily closing work?
At the end of the day you close the day and see the cash and card takings added up. Compare them with what is in the drawer and the card machine before you leave.
Which payment methods can I record at the counter?
Cash and card. Each sale records how it was paid, so the closing can total each method separately.
Do I need an internet connection at the counter?
TAQNIX ERP runs on your own Mac and opens in your browser. Everyday invoicing and reports do not need an internet connection.
How do I handle a return?
Issue a credit note against the original sale. The original receipt stays as it was, and the credit note keeps a clear trail for your VAT summary.
What hardware do I need for a counter in Sharjah?
TAQNIX ERP runs on a Mac. Before you buy, ask us about your receipt printer and barcode scanner so we can tell you what works with it.
