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 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.
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 move comes at a time when small retailers are increasingly seeking to streamline operations and reduce costs. By consolidating essential tools into one platform with transparent pricing, Simple addresses a common pain point in the industry. The inclusion of features like offline mode and unlimited registers also positions the system as a practical choice for businesses that need reliability and scalability.
Industry analysts note that the flat-rate processing model could be particularly appealing to businesses with high transaction volumes, as it eliminates the unpredictability of per-transaction fees. Furthermore, the absence of long-term contracts offers flexibility that many competitors do not provide.
As the retail landscape becomes more competitive, solutions that offer both cost savings and operational efficiency are likely to gain traction. Simple's approach of bundling all features into every plan simplifies decision-making for retailers, allowing them to focus on growth rather than managing multiple software subscriptions.
