The GetGroceryPOS Grocery Desk
Product, onboarding and support team
The Grocery Desk is the GetGroceryPOS team that onboards stores: importing catalogues, pairing label scales, setting up tax groups and receipts in the store's language, and walking owners through EBT processor setup. Every guide on this site comes from questions owners asked us, and every regulatory claim links to the government source with the date we checked it. Named author profiles will replace this team byline as the team grows.
- grocery POS setup
- label scales and PLU codes
- SNAP/EBT retailer rules
- product catalogue import
- multilingual receipts
Team byline. Named author profiles with credentials will be added as our writers are confirmed.
