Our review will concern MTS cash desks. We will figure out how to use the equipment, study the organization’s tariffs, and at the end we will point out the pros and cons of online cash registers.

Why do you need a SIM card for cash register machines?

Information about the revenue received by the store (in cases provided for by law, and about expenses), which are fiscalized at the online checkout, is subject to further transfer to the Federal Tax Service via the Internet. In practice - through the mediation of the Fiscal Data Operator, who will thus be the first recipient of sending the relevant data.

An online cash register can be connected to the Internet in different ways, including using a mobile connection. Which will obviously require the use of a SIM card from a mobile operator.

In practice, the SIM card can be:

Inserted into the online cash register itself - if it has the required slot.

Adaptability to connecting to the mobile Internet with the placement of a SIM card is a common option in the range of technical characteristics of modern online cash registers. It is quite difficult to find a device that does not support this option.

Note that in some cases, the basic modification of the cash register may be supplied without a slot for SIM cards - but subsequently it can be relatively easily and inexpensively upgraded to a device that supports the placement of SIM cards.

Inserted into a mobile device that “distributes” the Internet in access point mode (while the online cash register connects to it or forms a link with it).

The online cash register form factor is common, in which the cash register device consists of two modules:

fiscalization (represented by a fiscal registrar with a storage device);
computing (represented by a smartphone, tablet or computer to which the recorder is connected).

The corresponding calculation module can be connected to the mobile Internet. In addition, the Internet from the gadget can also be “caught” by an offline cash register - which for some reason is not connected to the network in other ways (for example, due to the fact that it does not support connecting SIM cards, or if it is not possible to insert it into the online cash register separate card).

Inserted into a wireless router that connects to the mobile Internet and then “distributes” it to connected devices via Wi-Fi.

How does MTS cash desk work?

A little about how the MTS cash desk works. When a consumer purchases a product, the sales data must be entered into the cash register memory. The transaction is carried out by the cashier. He can use the keyboard and do everything manually, or use a scanner. Data about the sale enters the fiscal drive, which, having memorized and encrypted the information, sends it to the OFD.

After checking and registering the data, the transaction is assigned a fiscal number. Next, the information is returned to the cash register and sent to the tax office. Then a receipt is generated and printed on the printer. Upon request from the consumer, an electronic copy of the receipt is sent to the specified email.

With the help of commodity accounting, you can determine which goods/services are in demand and which are lying on the shelf, revenue and profit, average bill, sales activity and much more. Due to the fact that the commodity accounting system operates on the basis of cloud technologies, the business owner can control trade from anywhere in the world directly from a smartphone.
