1 May changes: Paysera POS answers to frequently asked questions

Paysera POS answers to frequently asked questions
On 26 March, we hosted a webinar featuring Rolandas Puncevičius, Head of the Operational Control Department at the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI), and Mantas Chodosevičius, Paysera POS Product Manager. The session focused on the upcoming changes in the retail sector, which will require cash register revenue data to be submitted directly to the VMI i.EKA subsystem starting 1 May. During the webinar, we addressed a variety of questions covering not only the legal and tax implications but also the technical aspects of implementing these new requirements. In our previous blog post, we shared insights from the VMI representatives. This time, we turn to Mantas Chodosevičius to provide detailed answers to the technical and practical questions related to using Paysera POS.

Are product returns recorded in the i.EKA system?

The i.EKA sub-system allows reporting the refunded amount, but this operation is not classified as fiscal and is not directly tied to a specific fiscal transaction. However, in the Paysera orders system, you can leave a comment to clearly identify the origin of the return – the specific order and the corresponding fiscal operation. Additionally, you can update the order status, ensuring that the order history is visible within the internal system for reference.

How does the i.EKA system apply to e-commerce? Is integration with the VMI required?

E-shop orders are classified as non-fiscal transactions and do not need to be reported to the i.EKA system. The exception is when a customer opts to pay at a physical pickup point. In such cases, the transaction is treated as a physical sale with a cashier present, making it a fiscal transaction subject to all i.EKA system requirements.

We have around 20,000 products. Can we import our product list into the Paysera POS system? Is integration with the 'Verskis' platform possible?

Yes, you can import your product list into the Paysera POS system using .csv files. While there is currently no direct integration with the 'Verskis' platform, Paysera provides an open API that enables flexible integration with any e-commerce system. The choice of integration approach depends on which platform serves as the primary system in your business operations.

As of 1 May, submitting cash register revenue data to the VMI i.EKA is mandatory.

What if the cash register fails – can sales continue?

With Paysera POS functioning as a virtual cash register, there's no physical device – so technical issues are more likely to be temporary disruptions rather than complete failures. While short-term system unavailability is possible, such cases are rare and typically resolved within a few hours. The system is designed to recover quickly, allowing you to resume operations with minimal interruption.

How will i.EKA receive data about sold products? Will we still need to use the old system?

The traditional system was designed for use with older cash register technologies. With Paysera POS, you can create dynamic product entries, assign them to categories as needed, and tailor the setup to match your workflow. This modern approach offers greater flexibility and streamlines daily operations.

How to print receipts? Is an additional printer required?

No additional printer is needed when using Paysera POS. The card terminal also functions as a receipt printer, providing a compact, cost-effective, and convenient solution for issuing receipts.

How is cash register revenue data transmitted to the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI)?

The Paysera POS system automatically registers and transmits all fiscal sales data to the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI) in real-time. As soon as a sale is completed, the information is instantly sent to the i.EKA subsystem.

This automated process ensures transparent, legally compliant accounting without the need for manual data submission or corrections. It saves time, minimises the risk of errors, and allows your business to stay agile in the face of regulatory changes.
