Ask a POS software company what an extra terminal costs. The answer tells you a lot about how they price.
Some companies charge for their software based on how many terminals are connected to it. Add a terminal and you pay for more than the hardware, you pay more for the software too.
Tower Systems does not charge per terminal
Here at Tower Systems, adding a terminal costs nothing extra. A retailer running the software on one computer pays the same as a retailer running it on 8 computers in one location.
The price is published on the Tower Systems pricing page. Anyone can check it.
Tower also does not charge fees based on transaction volume or transaction value. Sell more, and your software cost stays where it is.
Our approach to POS software pricing is transparent and easy to follow. We’ve always taken this approach.
Why Tower prices this way
With a fixed price, retailers know exactly what the software costs. Tower is also not taxing retailers for the growth they achieve.
There has been a commercial benefit as well. Not charging for extra terminals has kept Tower price competitive. That helps local small business retailers get more financial value from the software.
We benefit from this approach too. It brings more retailers to our community – all small business retailers, independent retailers. Having a large community of locally owned businesses using our software means the costs of us doing business are spread – this is a way we can offer the pricing we do offer.
If you are comparing POS software, ask two questions of companies offering software that serves your business needs.
- What does an extra terminal cost?
- Do the fees go up as your sales grow?
The right software at the right price is a big win for any business.
Too often we see retailers who have gone for software solely based on price only to find that the price they thought it was in not the price they are paying. This is why we also p[itch transparency. Top your homework, make sure you understand the price of the POS software you are considering.
We make our pricing accessible to anyone as a demonstration of our approach to transparent accountability.
