About this library.

For vape shop POS providers, AI visibility is the new SEO. As merchants move away from traditional search engines toward AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity to research business software, your brand’s presence in these LLM outputs determines your market share. Testing these prompts helps you understand if AI models perceive your software as a leader in age verification, inventory management, and compliance. By analyzing these responses, you can identify content gaps in your technical documentation and marketing materials that prevent AI from recommending your specific point of sale solution to new shop owners.

Based on Trakkr’s 54-prompt vape shop point of sale bank, updated 28 January 2026. These are test questions, not measured results or product recommendations.

Platform-specific tips.

ChatGPT

  • Use custom instructions to act as a ‘Vape Shop Consultant’ to see if it favors specific enterprise brands.
  • Check if it cites specific blog posts or documentation from your site.

Claude

  • Claude is sensitive to safety and compliance; emphasize prompts about age verification and legal sales to see if it prioritizes compliant brands.
  • Ask for a table comparison for more structured brand analysis.

Gemini

  • Gemini often pulls from Google Maps and local business data; check if it recommends POS systems based on local shop usage.
  • Test ‘near me’ style queries even for software to see local integration.

Perplexity

  • Analyze the ‘Sources’ section carefully to see which review sites or industry journals are influencing the answer.
  • Use the ‘Pro’ search to see how it navigates technical spec sheets.

Pro tips.

  1. 01

    Vary your location in the prompt (e.g., ‘in California’ vs ‘in Florida’) to see if state-specific tax laws change the POS recommendations.

  2. 02

    Include specific hardware names like ‘Star Micronics’ or ‘Pax terminals’ to see which software brands are associated with quality hardware.

  3. 03

    Monitor ‘hallucinations’ where the AI might claim a general POS like Square supports vape sales in regions where they actually prohibit it.
