Simple, an all-in-one commerce platform for small and mid-size businesses, has announced the nationwide expansion of its retail POS system, providing independent retailers and multi-location stores with an alternative to the fragmented, fee-heavy point-of-sale stacks that currently dominate the market.
Many retailers currently operate their stores on a patchwork of subscriptions: one tool for the register, another for e-commerce, and separate solutions for loyalty, marketing, scheduling, and inventory. Each adds a monthly fee, and most popular processors layer per-transaction charges on top of published rates. Simple structures its platform differently. All 22+ modules are included in every plan, and payment processing runs at a flat 2.19% with no per-transaction fees.
The Simple retail POS includes real-time inventory tracking across locations, unlimited registers on every plan, an offline mode that keeps sales processing through internet outages, and a built-in e-commerce storefront that shares a single catalog with the register. The platform also covers customer loyalty, marketing automation, employee scheduling, and a time clock with payroll export. Stores can be operational within days, with no long-term contract required.
“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.”
Pricing starts at $99 per month per location with all modules included. The 2.19% flat processing rate applies to every card type, with no monthly card fees, gateway fees, or surcharges. A free card reader is included with every plan.
The announcement addresses a significant pain point for retailers: the complexity and cost of managing multiple software subscriptions. By consolidating essential functions into a single system, Simple aims to reduce operational overhead and simplify daily management. For business leaders, this could translate into lower total cost of ownership and streamlined operations, allowing staff to focus more on customer service and less on juggling disparate tools.
The flat-rate pricing model also offers predictability, which is crucial for budgeting in an uncertain economic environment. With no per-transaction fees, retailers can scale their sales without worrying about escalating processing costs. This could be particularly beneficial for high-volume stores or those with seasonal spikes.
Simple's approach aligns with a broader industry trend toward integrated platforms that replace multiple point solutions. For small and mid-sized businesses, such integration can reduce training time and improve data accuracy, as all systems share a single source of truth for inventory and customer data.
The retail POS system is available now across the United States. Retailers can compare plans or book a demonstration at simplecommerce.io/industries/retail. For more information about Simple and its offerings, visit simplecommerce.io.
