OpenCart POS French NF525 Add-On
The software subscribers in France are now restricted in their ability to modify the completed sales. The restriction will bring your software into accordance with the French anti-fraud measure NF525.
NF525 regulates all cash drawer and accounting software. So, the French law requires that all the taxable businesses that are recording their payments via a cash drawer, accounting, or management software must utilize a program which meets the established conditions of sales data inalterability, security, storage, and archiving.
The purpose of this anti-fraud law is to avoid the modification or deletion of transactions and reduce tax evasion across the European Union.
