- •Move stock between shops in one step when you open a second location.
Why not the cheap option?
- vs Square (free + processing)Cheap to start; multi-location is an upgrade. Sales reports beyond 90 days require a paid tier. Exporting your full data set is a multi-export, manual stitch.
- vs Clover (~$80-150/mo + hardware lease)Hardware lease locks you in for 3 years. Apps you need (loyalty, reporting) are paid add-ons. Processing locked to First Data / Fiserv.
- vs Lightspeed Retail (~$89/mo)Built for inventory-rich apparel and specialty. The convenience-store flow works but you pay for matrix + consignment + ecommerce features your shop will never use.
Moving from Square or Clover?
- →Items + customer list import via CSV. Square and Clover both export — even from the free tier.
- →Your existing barcode scanner works as-is (Honeywell, Zebra, generic USB — any keyboard-wedge scanner).
- →Bring your own Stripe account; lower processing fees than Square or Clover, no per-machine fee.
- →Switching mid-month is fine: ring sales on the old system through Sunday, fresh start Monday on RetailPOS.
Frequently asked questions
- How fast is the till at peak?
- Scan-to-cart under 100ms on an iPad with a USB scanner. We benchmark the cashier loop because a slow till at lunch rush is the difference between making payroll and not.
- What about multiple shops?
- Flat-rate per shop, not per feature. $29/store/month Starter, $69/store/month Pro. Move stock between shops in one step from the owner dashboard.
- Loyalty for regulars?
- Built in. Default is 1 point per $1 spent; configurable per tenant. Points-for-discount redemption at checkout. No separate loyalty app, no monthly fee on top.
- Do refunds restock automatically?
- Yes — every refund proportionally restocks the lines that were refunded. Partial refunds restock proportionally; full refunds return all units.
- Offline mode?
- Included. The till keeps ringing through internet outages; queued sales sync when the connection returns. No duplicates, no manual reconciliation. Same behaviour on every plan.
