What is a cloud cash register?

A cloud cash register is an application that turns an Android tablet or phone into a complete, legal point of sale: it issues receipts and invoices, transmits them automatically to the Greek tax authority's myDATA platform through a certified e-invoicing provider, and keeps your data in the cloud — with no fiscal device (ΦΗΜ) and no dedicated hardware.

1️⃣ You ring up the sale

Pick items by touch, barcode or even your voice. The app calculates VAT, discounts and the total.

2️⃣ Provider signs it

The document is signed by a certified e-invoicing provider of the AADE (Greek tax authority) — this replaces the fiscal device.

3️⃣ Sent to myDATA

The receipt is transmitted automatically to myDATA and printed (or sent by email/SMS) with an AADE QR code and MARK number.

4️⃣ Everything in the cloud

Sales, items, customers and reports are available from anywhere — the shop, home, or your accountant's office.

Legality

Is a cloud cash register legal?

Yes. Greek legislation allows documents to be issued through certified e-invoicing providers (ΥΠΑΗΕΣ), without a fiscal device. In practice this means:

✅ AADE QR code

Every document carries an AADE QR code and a myDATA MARK number — the customer (and any inspection) can verify it instantly.

✅ EFT/POS interconnection

The mandatory interconnection between cash registers and card terminals is covered: the amount goes from the register to the terminal, no double keying.

✅ Offline operation

If the internet drops, issuing continues and everything issued offline syncs automatically with myDATA once the connection returns.

Cost

How much does a cloud cash register cost?

The model is an annual subscription instead of buying hardware. The total cost has three parts:

💶 App subscription

With SmartCashier: Basic €149/year (retail & myDATA), Hospitality €199/year (tables, zones, floor plan), Delivery & Farmers €49/year. Prices exclude VAT.

📱 Equipment

An Android tablet or phone — often the one you already own. Optionally a thermal printer (Bluetooth or network) and the card terminal you already use.

✂️ What you save

No fiscal device to buy, no annual ΦΗΜ maintenance, no technician for upgrades — legislative changes arrive automatically from the cloud.

See the plans in detail on the SmartCashier pricing section. The trial is free, with a demo account, no business details required.

Choosing

Which cloud cash register for a small shop?

For a mini market, kiosk, café, bakery or a services business, the criteria that matter in practice are few and specific:

🎯 Low, predictable cost

One annual subscription with no hidden charges — on a device you already own. SmartCashier Basic starts at €149/year (excl. VAT).

📡 Works without internet

The till cannot stop when the line drops. Ask for proven offline operation with automatic sync.

💳 Your own EFT/POS

The register must connect to the terminal you already have — SmartCashier integrates with 100+ providers (banks, Viva, MyPOS, Cardlink and more) and accepts IRIS instant payments.

🧾 Receipts and invoices together

When a business customer walks in, you want an invoice on the spot — with details auto-filled from the VAT number, in the same app.

🚀 Room to grow

Tables for hospitality, delivery notes, multiple branches — they should be added as modules when you need them, not force a system change.

🆓 Try before you commit

A free trial with a demo account, no business details — so you can see if it fits before you pay.
