Small and mid-size retailers have long juggled multiple software subscriptions for point of sale, e-commerce, loyalty, and scheduling, each with its own fees and integration headaches. Simple, an all-in-one commerce platform, is now rolling out a retail POS system nationwide that consolidates these functions into a single plan, potentially transforming how independent stores operate.
The company's approach is straightforward: every plan includes all 22+ modules, from real-time inventory tracking to employee scheduling, and payment processing is set at a flat 2.19% with no per-transaction fees. This stands in contrast to the industry norm, where retailers often pay monthly fees for separate tools and then face additional per-transaction charges on top of published rates.
“Retailers are tired of watching their margins disappear into software add-ons and processing fees,” said Justin Dabish, CEO of Simple. “We built one point of sale for retail that does everything a modern store needs, priced it flat, and put every feature in every plan. What you see is what you pay.”
The new system includes features designed to streamline daily operations. Real-time inventory tracking synchronizes across multiple locations, and unlimited registers are available on every plan. An offline mode ensures sales can continue processing even during internet outages, a critical feature for busy retail environments. The built-in e-commerce storefront shares a single catalog with the register, eliminating the need for manual syncing between online and in-store sales.
Beyond the basics, the platform covers customer loyalty programs, marketing automation, employee scheduling, and a time clock with payroll export. This integration means retailers can manage their entire business from one dashboard, rather than toggling between different software providers.
Pricing starts at $99 per month per location, with all modules included. The flat processing rate of 2.19% applies to every card type, with no monthly card fees, gateway fees, or surcharges. A free card reader is included with each plan, and there is no long-term contract required.
For retailers, the implications are significant. By bundling essential tools into one subscription and simplifying pricing, Simple aims to reduce the financial and operational burden that often plagues small businesses. The ability to scale across locations without additional per-register or per-feature costs could also make expansion more accessible.
“Retailers can be operational within days,” the company states, emphasizing the ease of setup. With the nationwide availability, independent retailers and multi-location stores now have an alternative that promises transparency and affordability.
Simple, headquartered in Troy, Michigan, serves retailers and service businesses across the United States. For more information, retailers can visit Simple's retail page or explore their main site at simplecommerce.io.
