Issuing electronic receipts without a cash register

Issuing electronic receipts without a cash register: is it possible? Many businesses have so far operated without a fiscal register, but with the new telematic requirement and the resulting abolition of handwritten tax receipts, various professional categories now have to adapt. A telematic cash register may not be the ideal solution for everyone. Those who carry out only a few transactions a day may find other methods more practical and cost-effective. Let's look at the options for complying with the telematic requirement without buying a traditional cash register.

The Italian Revenue Agency's web procedure

The first option is the Italian Revenue Agency's web procedure. This can be accessed via SPID, the National Services Card or Entratel/Fisconline credentials. Once logged into the Agency's portal, you can fill in the electronic receipt by selecting the ‘Fatture e corrispettivi’ area. The procedure involves manually entering all the data of the transaction: product, quantity, price, VAT rate and amount paid by the customer.

This option is undoubtedly only suitable for those who carry out few transactions a day, such as small retail shops and craft businesses. However, it is a procedure that takes time and could lead to errors, with the resulting penalties.

However, a solution that sends takings electronically and automatically, even without a traditional cash register, is possible.

The Modular Telematic Cash Register

Custom provides the tools to create a practical, immediate and tailor-made solution that meets the needs of many retailers. A modular kit that scales between smartphone and tablet is the most suitable answer for some professionals. For a small business with few daily transactions, the advantages are undoubtedly many. For example, you can use the mobile devices you already own, and this combination of products also takes up little space. With the modular register you can still take advantage of the tax credit; finally, it is a more flexible and less ‘bulky’ tool than more traditional registers.

Telematic Cash Register with Tablet

With the PosA app, all you need is an Android™ tablet connected to a Custom fiscal printer to comply with the requirement to transmit takings. A smart, modular solution that easily and fully meets the needs of small shops and craftspeople, as well as bars, tobacconists and restaurants.

The PosA software in particular was designed specifically for restaurants, tobacconists and retail in general. Thanks to its features and specific modules created ad hoc, the work of staff at points of sale becomes faster and more effective. On the one hand, it improves efficiency in organising bookings, tables, waiters and different price lists; on the other, it provides optimal management of departments, items and stock, as well as operators and customers

By completing this package with a device from the Scanmatic range, everything is ready for a practical response to the Receipt Lottery. If a customer asks for the relevant tickets to be generated using their ‘lottery code’ in barcode format, this high-performance barcode reader makes the operation quick and easy.

Telematic Transmission of Takings with a Smartphone

The Modular Telematic Cash Register solution consists of the licence for the PosA app, a Custom fiscal printer and a QD display.

The small-screen licence for the PosA Mobile app, for example, is ideal for certain professional sectors such as Ho.Re.Ca., crafts and emergency call-out services. As well as being part of an extremely flexible modular package, it allows hotels to issue both electronic invoices and receipts, and craftspeople and car repair shops to meet the new requirement to describe goods and services in the commercial document, with long, detailed entries.

Finally, by pairing it with a smartphone or tablet connected to the Internet, issuing electronic receipts becomes a quick and simple operation at any time. A solution that guarantees maximum freedom and versatility.

Custom is by your side with simple, innovative solutions for complying with the requirement to transmit takings electronically to the Italian Revenue Agency.
