Expert recommendations for brick-and-mortar retail stores
Retail stores have specific payment processing requirements:
Perfect for retail stores. Free hardware, low in-person fees, and complete POS system with inventory management.
Comprehensive retail POS system with advanced inventory management and business analytics.
Great for retail stores that also sell online. Unified reporting and flexible integration options.
In-person payments typically have lower fees than online. Look for processors with competitive in-person rates (2.3% - 2.7%).
Many processors offer free or discounted hardware. This can save you hundreds of dollars in upfront costs.
If you need inventory tracking, choose a processor that includes inventory management or integrates with your existing system.
