Everything Smoke Shops Need in One Powerful POS
Age Verification
Age verification is essential for smoke shop retailers selling restricted products. Auto-Star’s POS solutions can help support your checkout process by prompting staff to verify ID when age-restricted items are scanned.
With optional driver’s license scanning where supported and with the correct hardware, retailers can reduce manual entry, minimize guesswork, and help staff complete transactions more confidently. These tools help create a more consistent checkout experience while supporting responsible retail operations.
*Age verification features may vary by region, product type, and hardware setup.
Inventory Control
With parent-child item management and case-to-unit tracking, retailers can manage products received one way but sold another, such as cigars sold by the box or individually, vape products sold by the case or unit, and multi-item bundles or gift sets. Real-time inventory visibility and suggested ordering help identify what is selling, what needs replenishing, and which products may be tying up shelf space.
Reduce manual adjustments, keep shelves organized, and make sure popular products are ordered at the right time.
Customer Loyalty
Build stronger relationships with your customers through loyalty tools that help encourage repeat visits and increase customer engagement. Auto-Star’s customer loyalty features allow retailers to track customer activity, manage rewards, and create targeted promotions.
For smoke shop retailers, loyalty programs can help support customer retention while giving your business more insight into purchasing trends and customer preferences.
Promotions and loyalty offers for restricted products may be subject to local laws and regulations.
Create Accurate Signs, Tags, and Labels
Clear pricing and product information are essential when managing cigars, vape products, accessories, and other specialty retail items. Auto-Star’s tags, signs, and labels tools help smoke shops create professional shelf tags, product labels, promotional signage, and price updates directly from the system.
Retailers can quickly print updated pricing, sale signs, mix-and-match labels where permitted, and item-specific shelf information to help keep displays organized and easy to shop. Labels can include important product details such as cigar brand, country or region of origin, wrapper type, strength, size, ring gauge, flavor notes, vape flavor, nicotine strength, bottle size, device compatibility, and product category.
