We Are 100% RACS Compliant
And EAC Certified With JUUL Labs
What Does All Of This Mean?
To combat the underage use of JUUL products, Juul Labs has partnered with retailers across the United States to implement Juul Labs’ Retail Access Control Standards program, better known as (RACS).

RACS is an example of one way to comply with Enhanced Access Controls (EAC) for the sale of JUUL products. RACS automatically requires electronic ID scanning at the point of sale to verify the purchaser’s age, ID validity and limits the amount of products that can be purchased to reduce the risk of social sourcing.

As per the JUUL Labs corporate website, EAC certification is a process that demonstrates your POS having two requirements for JUUL transactions:

  •  Advanced Age-Verification (ID Scanning) to ensure customers are of legal age, with a non-expired and valid ID.
  • Automated Product-Quantity Limits to ensure customers cannot buy in bulk to redistribute to those under the legal age by automatically blocking or flagging transactions that exceed Juul Labs limit of one (1) JUUL Device and four (4) pack of JUUL pods per person.

Limit 1 JUUL Device Per Customer

Limit 4 JUUL Pods Per Customer

Below is a quick explainer video from JUUL Labs for additional information

For Many Tobacco Resellers, Retailers, Head Shops, C-Stores And Vape Shops Moving Forward, You Will NOT Be Able To Sell JUUL Products Without Compliant Hardware And Software . .

But Don't Let JUUL Regulations Hurt Your Business, We Have A Solution For You!

Merchantology POS Is Here . .

. . We Provide The ONLY RACS Compliant POS System That Allows Cash Discounting On A CBD Friendly Platform!

For many retailers that sell tobacco products, CBD products go hand in hand.  This may sound like a contradiction but in order to sell JUUL products, you must have a RACS compliant POS system, YES. The problem is there are only about 10 POS providers out there that are RACS compliant and the majority of the platforms supported by those POS companies are strictly against CBD products. With that being said, the processing companies will actually terminate your merchant account for selling such products if the underwriting or risk department finds out and many tobacco retailers are already familiar with these kind of issues. A simple post on a social media page or Google review could flag your account under these platforms.

We have a CBD friendly bank on our side and CBD products are NOT considered high-risk like on other platforms. Often times, being considered high-risk comes with a monthly rate such as 0.50% of your processing volume on TOP of your regular processing fees. With Merchantology, we allow you to process freely and have the peace of mind that you have the best platform for your business without any worry. We also provide Cash-Discount which allows you to keep up to 100% of your hard earned profit.

In Addition . .

You Also Have The Option For Scan Data

What Is Scan Data You Ask?

In a nutshell, major tobacco distributors within the United States including Philip Morris, RJ Reynolds, Altria, Juul and ITG Brands are participating in a program where companies who sells their product have an opportunity to receive a rebate for providing the sales data trends (Scan Data) of your monthly tobacco sales. The program is worth it for major tobacco distributors to provide a rebate because it allows them to better market their customers and promote their products more efficiently.

With our sophisticated POS Software, the only thing you need to do is prompt a Scan Data at the end of each month to receive a rebate while receiving buydown promotions. This is a GREAT opportunity to earn an extra income stream for you business by continuing to sell your tobacco products of choice and retaining customers at a higher rate. With the Scan Data function, you get to earn a rebate on each sale you make.
