Simple, an all-in-one commerce platform for small and mid-size businesses, has announced the nationwide expansion of its retail POS system. The new offering provides independent retailers and multi-location stores with a unified alternative to the fragmented, fee-heavy point of sale stacks currently dominating the market.
Many retailers currently operate 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.
Simple's retail POS system is available now across the United States. Retailers can compare plans or book a demonstration at simplecommerce.io/industries/retail.
This launch is significant for independent retailers who have long faced rising costs and complexity in their point of sale systems. By consolidating multiple tools into one platform with transparent pricing, Simple aims to reduce overhead and streamline operations, allowing store owners to focus on growth rather than managing disparate software.
The flat-rate processing model could also set a new standard in the industry, challenging competitors to simplify their pricing structures. For retailers, this means predictable costs and potentially significant savings, especially for those processing high volumes of transactions.
With no long-term contracts and a free card reader included, the barrier to entry is low, making it attractive for small businesses looking to modernize their operations without substantial upfront investment.
