Why Use the Tobacco Scan Data Service?

If you sell tobacco products, Scan Data programs can significantly improve your profit margins.
Tobacco Scan Data is an incentive program that has been made available by the major tobacco companies such as Altria, Reynolds and ITG. In these programs, merchants get major financial benefits for sharing transaction level data on all tobacco products.

These programs also provide pricing guidance from manufacturers, helping you keep margins high and competitive.

Offer customer discounts funded by manufacturers—boost sales without sacrificing margin.

Manufacturers offer promotions such as “buy more, save more” and loyalty rewards. You apply the discount at checkout and receive reimbursement directly from the manufacturer.

The amount of information about tobacco items that's required for the Scan Data program is not available in the native Clover Inventory app. All the additional item information is available on Inventory++. This app is the only one integrated with Scan Data on Clover POS to provide valid information therefore, it is required.
Part of the Scan Data program is Customer Loyalty Discount Program. It implies information about customers. This program is optional for merchants.
