NRS POS

The POS for businesses other systems were never built for.

Most POS systems are built for restaurants and general retail. They handle the basics — sales, inventory, reporting — but the moment you run a convenience store, smoke shop, or liquor store, the cracks show. You need age verification on tobacco and alcohol. You need EBT/SNAP. You need lottery and gas pump integration. You need an anti-theft camera tied to your transactions. And nobody else builds for that.

NRS POS is the system that does. Built by National Retail Solutions specifically for independent c-store operators — over 25,000 stores nationwide — with hardware and software designed around the unique demands of specialty retail.

And when you buy through us, you get dedicated reps who actually understand your business, honest disclosed processing rates, on-site install, and statement analysis for current NRS owners who want a better deal on their processing.

Built for

The independent retailers other POS companies forget.

01 / Convenience & bodegas

The c-store essentials

Multi-pack sales, lottery integration, hot bar tracking, BOGO promotions, and gas pump integration through NRS Petro. Built for the volume and complexity of a real corner store, not a boutique pretending to be one.

02 / Smoke & tobacco shops

Age-restricted sales done right

Integrated ID scanner for age verification — no more cashier guessing. Plus tobacco manufacturer buydowns and rebate tracking based on your sales volume, so you actually capture the rebates you've earned.

03 / Liquor stores

Age-restricted, again

Same ID scanner. Plus high-volume SKU handling for liquor inventories that often run thousands of items. Integrated case break tracking and bottle deposit handling in states where it matters.

Standout features

What NRS does that nobody else does.

Not just a POS with c-store features bolted on — actually purpose-built. These features come standard.

Panic alarm button

Built into the POS

Patented panic alarm at the register that silently notifies authorities and triggers DVR recording. Built for the reality of late-night c-store ops, not a software feature an enterprise vendor would think to add.

POS-DVR camera integration

Transactions overlaid on video

Tie every transaction to surveillance footage in real time. Sweethearting, voids, and theft become identifiable instead of invisible. Reviewing video after a missing-inventory complaint takes minutes, not hours.

EBT & SNAP processing

Government benefits handled

Native EBT and SNAP support — critical for any food retailer accepting government benefits. The system handles split tenders (EBT for eligible items, card or cash for the rest) automatically.

NRS Petro

Gas pump integration

For c-stores attached to gas stations, NRS Petro ties pump authorization, fuel pricing, and inventory management directly into the POS. One system instead of two separate ones.

Tobacco buydowns & rebates

Capture every dollar

Automatically track tobacco manufacturer buydowns and rebates based on your sales volume. Most c-stores leave thousands on the table because they can't track this. NRS reports it.

Loyalty & couponing

Customer keyfob program

Free in-house loyalty program — customers sign up with their phone number and get a keyfob to scan at checkout for discounts. Promotion is data-driven from actual purchase behavior.

Why buy through us

Same NRS. Better deal.

NRS POS is sold by NRS directly and through resellers like Payment Gurus. The hardware is the same, the software is the same, and the c-store features are the same. The difference is what comes with it.

Dedicated rep who knows your store

Buy direct, you're one of 25,000+ merchants in NRS's queue. Buy from us, you get a dedicated rep who knows your menu, your staff, and your business. When something needs escalating, you have a name to call.

Honest, disclosed processing rates

We quote interchange-plus pricing with full disclosure — you see exactly what the card networks charge and exactly what we charge on top. No buy-rate markups buried inside opaque "tiered" pricing or hidden inside the POS subscription. If you're a current NRS owner unhappy with your processing rates, send us a statement — we'll show you what you'd save.

On-site install & training

We handle hardware staging, install, and staff training. Most c-store owners are running a full shift the day after install. No "ship the box and read the manual" experience.

Real support, real fast

When you need someone at 2am, or you've spent 40 minutes on hold during a busy shift, you call us first. We've got dedicated escalation lines and people who know NRS hardware inside and out.

No long-term lock-ins on processing

We don't use multi-year processor contracts with early termination fees. If we're not earning your business, you should be free to leave. The hardware is yours; the processing relationship is month-to-month.

Frequently asked

NRS POS, answered.

How much does NRS POS actually cost?

NRS POS pricing depends on the hardware configuration and your store's needs. A typical bundle includes a touchscreen terminal, customer-facing display, barcode scanner, receipt printer, and cash drawer — plus a monthly software service fee for ongoing updates and support. We quote real numbers based on your specific store rather than advertised rates that may not apply to your situation. Send us a quick description of your business and we'll send back honest pricing.

Can I use my own card processor with NRS POS?

Yes. When you buy NRS POS through Payment Gurus, your card processing goes through us — with interchange-plus pricing, full rate disclosure, and no long-term processor contracts. You get the NRS hardware and software, plus the processing relationship and rates you'd actually want.

Why does the customer-facing screen show ads?

The customer-facing display rotates between the receipt/order details during a transaction and ads from CPG brands, mobile carriers, and others before and after transactions. This is part of NRS's standard platform. Most c-store owners actually appreciate it because some ads are for products they sell, driving impulse buys. If you want to disable the ads, NRS offers a paid option to do that — we can walk you through the details.

Does NRS POS support EBT and SNAP?

Yes, natively. EBT/SNAP is built in and handles split tenders automatically — eligible items charged to EBT, ineligible items charged to card or cash, all in one transaction. This is essential for any c-store, grocery, or food retailer in lower-income neighborhoods. Most non-specialty POS systems either don't support EBT or charge significantly extra for it.

How does the age verification work?

Optional but highly recommended for tobacco, alcohol, and vape retailers. An integrated ID scanner at the register scans the customer's driver's license or state ID, verifies the date of birth, and either approves or rejects the sale automatically. No more cashier guessing on whether a customer "looks 21." Combined with the POS-DVR camera integration, you have a documented record of every age-verified sale.

What about lottery integration?

NRS POS integrates with state lottery systems in many states, letting you sell, scan, and validate lottery tickets directly through the POS. Specific state availability varies — we can confirm based on where your store is located.

I'm already running NRS POS. Can I switch my processing to you?

In many cases, yes. Send us a recent processing statement and we'll show you what you'd save by switching. The transition is typically straightforward — your NRS hardware keeps working, you just get better rates and dedicated reseller support. If there are contractual reasons it won't work in your specific case, we'll tell you that honestly upfront.

Who shouldn't buy NRS POS?

NRS is purpose-built for c-stores, smoke shops, liquor stores, bodegas, and specialty independent retail. It's not the best fit for restaurants (look at SkyTab or SpotOn instead), general retail boutiques (Square or Clover), or service businesses. If you're not in the c-store / specialty retail world, there's almost certainly a better POS for your business — and we'd rather point you to it than sell you the wrong system.
