Independent retailers and multi-location stores have long juggled 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 processors layer per-transaction charges on top of published rates. Simple, an all-in-one commerce platform for small and mid-size businesses, aims to change that with the nationwide expansion of its retail POS system.
The company's platform includes all 22+ modules in every plan, with payment processing at a flat 2.19% and no per-transaction fees. This structure offers an alternative to the fragmented, fee-heavy point of sale stacks that currently dominate the market. Simple's 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.
“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. Stores can be operational within days, with no long-term contract required.
The implications are significant for small retailers who often operate on thin margins. By consolidating multiple software subscriptions into one flat fee, Simple could reduce the total cost of ownership for POS systems. The inclusion of e-commerce, loyalty, and scheduling in a single system also eliminates the need for integrations that can be costly and time-consuming to maintain. For multi-location retailers, the real-time inventory tracking and centralized management could improve operational efficiency.
Simple's approach aligns with a broader trend in the software industry toward all-in-one platforms that simplify operations for small businesses. However, the success of such platforms depends on the reliability and depth of each module. Simple's offline mode and unlimited registers are notable features that address common pain points for retailers, such as internet outages and additional fees for extra terminals.
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, visit simplecommerce.io or call (855) 840-5005.
