Point of sale
Point of sale software for shops and cafes in Qatar
TAQNIX ERP gives the counter a fast cashier screen, receipts in Arabic and English with amounts in Qatari riyals, cash and card payments and a daily closing, on the same books as your invoices and purchases.
What the point of sale does at your counter
Receipts and totals are in Qatari riyals, with the dirhams shown on the receipt. No VAT is shown.
A fast cashier screen
Pick items and take payment in a few taps, so the queue keeps moving at your busiest hour.
Receipts in riyals, Arabic or English
Every receipt shows the amount in Qatari riyals with two decimals 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.
One system for the counter and the back office
Most counters end up with a till in one place and the books in another. Here a sale rung up at the counter lands in the same books as your invoices, credit notes and supplier purchases, so the day does not have to be typed in twice.
Click through it yourself
The demo runs in your browser with fictional data. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.

The pictures come from a design prototype of another edition, with fictional data. The amounts, taxes and panels on them (labelled SAR and ZATCA) do not apply in Qatar. The edition for Qatar works in riyals with two decimals and shows no VAT.
Point of sale software by city
A counter in a port town, a tourist city and an industrial estate does not work the same way. Pick your city to see what matters there.

Point of sale questions from Qatar
What does a receipt from TAQNIX ERP show for a shop in Qatar?
The amount in Qatari riyals with two decimals, printed in Arabic, English or both. If you need to know what else a receipt must carry, confirm it with the General Tax Authority or your accountant.
Can the receipts be in Arabic and English for customers in Qatar?
Yes. Receipts print in Arabic, English or both, so a tourist and a local regular can each read theirs.
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.
