POS Software questions from Montreal

Does Posnic handle GST/HST in Canada?

Posnic uses configurable tax groups, so GST/HST rates are set once and applied automatically, with inclusive or exclusive pricing and tax-wise report summaries.

What hardware do I need to run Posnic in Montreal?

Any Windows computer. Standard USB barcode scanners, thermal receipt printers, cash drawers, weighing scales and touch screens all work. Existing hardware from a previous system usually carries over.

Can I manage several stores in Canada with Posnic?

Yes. Each store runs its own offline Posnic, and Posnic Cloud syncs them with branch-level access control and consolidated dashboards you can watch from anywhere.
