To setup your Scan Data reporting with CStore Essentials, follow the steps below.


Step 1: Check Eligibility with RJR, and Get SFTP credentials

RJ Reynolds (RJR) has very specific requirements for the enrollment process of new scan data customers. Follow these steps to start offering discounts with RJ Reynolds.

  1. Contact your RJR representative and inform them you want to enroll in the RJR tobacco scan data program. Please let them know that your scan data provider is PDI CStore Essentials.

  2. Your RJR rep will either direct you to MSA (their data processor) or send you a questionnaire via email to complete the Enrollment Process.

    • In the Contact Information, 'please use your valid email', so you can be notified by RJR when everything has been setup.

    • Furthermore, when filling out the 'Enrollment & Data Authorization Form',

    Enter "PDI CStore Essentials", for Software Provider Name, and

    Select “Pipe Delimited without headers” as Preferred file format.

  3. Within a week, you should receive an email from MSA with your SFTP credentials (username and password). You will need this information when configuring scan data submission via CStoreEssentials.
