Datascan Point of Sale
A point of sale system built around pharmacy. Not retail.
Your pharmacy does more than ring up purchases. Your POS should do more, too.
Datascan by the numbers
Purpose-built for pharmacy operations since 2003.
- One fully integrated Pharmacy management and POS solution
- Freedom to choose your credit card processor, without forced vendor relationships
Built for pharmacy
Most POS systems are designed for general retail. Ours wasn't.
Datascan's POS was built for the needs of independent pharmacies, combining everyday retail transactions with prescription management, patient information, inventory controls and pharmacy-specific workflows.
From verifying prescriptions before pickup to managing FSA/HSA purchases and tracking pseudoephedrine sales, the tools your pharmacy needs live in one integrated system.
Because our POS works directly with Datascan Pharmacy Management Software, your team spends less time switching systems, correcting errors and tracking down information.
FSA/HSA payments
More ways to pay, without complicating checkout.
Flexible Spending and Health Savings Accounts are an important part of pharmacy retail. Datascan's SIGIS-certified POS accepts FSA and HSA cards, so you can handle eligible healthcare purchases without a separate retail system.
- Works with supported merchant processors
- SIGIS-certified POS software
- Eligible FSA/HSA card transactions
- Rx and eligible OTC in one checkout
- Integrated sales and transaction reporting
SIGIS CERTIFIED
Pseudoephedrine tracking
Sudafed sales, limits and reporting, right at the register.
Datascan POS integrates with NPLex (National Precursor Log Exchange) by Appriss, so you can manage PSE sales, purchase limits and electronic reporting without manual logs or a separate application.
NPLex by Appriss
Electronic tracking and reporting of pseudoephedrine transactions.
Purchase limit monitoring
Flags purchases that exceed applicable legal limits.
Real-time checks
Electronic verification of PSE purchases through NPLex.
Simpler recordkeeping

Accept OTC and Healthy Benefits Today
Datascan and Fincretive have partnered to deliver the benefits Card Network to independent pharmacy retailers.
A $90 +Billion Benefits Market
Medicare Advantage and Medicaid have created a $90+ billion-dollar benefits market in 2026 for over-the-counter (OTC) and Healthy Benefits cards nationwide, and that market continues to grow annually.
Through the Benefits Card Network, independent pharmacies can begin accepting OTC cards from Optum, Incomm, FIS and others using a single integration connecting to many of the nation’s leading benefit processors.
How OTC Benefit Cards Work
OTC benefit cards are intended for specific eligible item UPCs and operate using health plan-specific Approved Product Lists (APLs). Benefits are separate from traditional HSA/FSA programs and are typically refreshed monthly or quarterly depending on the health plan.
Don’t miss out
Historically, many cardholders have needed to use their benefits at national retailers because of acceptance challenges and differing product-data requirements. The Benefits Card Network helps solve that problem for independent retailers.
Win customers back. Increase order size and loyalty. Expand and diversify your revenue streams using your existing POS.
Access Leading OTC & Healthy Benefits
Card Networks
Your pharmacy can gain access to card types including:
- Optum

FAQs
How does the POS integrate with the pharmacy software?
Datascan POS software works with our pharmacy POS system to ensure a seamless checkout. When a prescription is rung out, the pharmacy POS software checks to make sure the prescription has received a paid response from the insurance company (for non-cash Rx’s) and that it has been verified (if this option is turned on) while also scanning the pharmacy software to look for any other prescriptions that may be ready or in queue. It will display any co-pay due from the insurance company’s response and ensure prescriptions are not leaving the store without being paid for. The best pharmacy software solutions are fully integrated with the point-of-sale software.
What features are included in the pharmacy POS system?
Datascans Pharmacy POS system includes OTC inventory management, inventory ordering, credit card processing, integrated pharmacy software solutions like workflow management, pseudoephedrine tracking and reporting, rewards and loyalty programs for customers, and so much more…
How do I set up credit card processing for accepting payments in the POS system?
To process credit cards in your pharmacy POS system, you will need to work with a merchant processor. Most pharmacy POS software vendors have preferred merchant processors who they partner with. The merchant processor will work with the pharmacy software vendor to set up your account, help set up SIGIS for FSA/HSA processing, and configure your credit card tablet. While Datascan does not require that you use our specific processor, we do guarantee to get you the best pricing for your credit card processing with our processor. It also makes the setup and troubleshooting processes easier because of the relationships we have.
How does the POS help manage my inventory and pricing?
Our integrated POS system will manage your OTC inventory using a physical perpetual inventory model, like the one in Datascan Pharmacy Software. It keeps track of what’s on your shelves in real time to avoid inventory surpluses and shortages. It connects with your wholesalers through EDI to automatically place orders as well as make constant updates to your inventory and costs. EDI ordering with your wholesalers is included in Datascan’s pharmacy software and POS software for free. The best pharmacy POS systems, such as Datascan’s, will shop across vendors for the best pricing when the software is setting up your orders.
