Opening a retail shop costs more than most people expect. Stock, fit-out, signage, rent in advance — all of it lands before a single sale is made.
POS software sits somewhere in that list, and it catches a lot of new retailers off guard. Most of the well-known systems are priced for businesses already running at volume. Some charge transaction fees on top of the subscription. Others lock you into their payment hardware from day one.
A new retailer does not need that.
What they need is software that handles the basics well — sales, inventory, loyalty, layby — without paying for features that only matter at a scale they have not reached yet. They need support they can actually reach when something goes wrong. And they need a monthly cost that does not swing with how busy the shop was.
That is the thinking behind Tower StartUp. At $150 a month including GST, it covers the core of what an independent specialty retailer needs to open and operate. No transaction fees. No mandated payment processor. Up to two terminals. Australian-based phone support, 24 hours a day.
For years we focussed on serving established retailers, and it worked for us and for them. Recently, though, we have wondered how we might help start up businesses or micro businesses that need a simple POS solution while they get on their feet. We put in the work, researched and adjusted. The result is what we offer now, our Tower Systems StartUp price point.
We are grateful to the retailers who have helped with this. Their input has helped us land where we have, and we hope that it’s meaning full for others too.
It’s an easy no risk place for any retail business to start. We are proud to offer it.
There is also no lock-in to the entry tier. StartUp sits within a four-level platform — Standard, Advanced, and Ultimate are there when a business needs more. But that decision can wait until the business is ready for it.
A retailer in their first year should be focused on product, customers, and figuring out what actually works in their shop. Not managing software costs that outpace their revenue.
