How much does a retail POS system cost?
I’m not sure on the exact number we paid for the system we have at work but I know it wasn’t all that cheap and for a good reason. The system we’ve got a work is like a retailers dream come true, I can get work done really quickly which give’s me time to work on other projects. If you’re interested the site we got our system from is http://www.visualretailplus.com.
Like buying a car, it just depends on what you want. What features do you need? How fast do you want it to go? Should you purchase an extended warranty? The more features you want, the more your retail POS system will cost. A single-user software license can cost between $1,200 and $2,500. Do you need new POS terminals? Add $3,000 to $4,000 per workstation. What about new scanners, cash drawers, and printers? Add another $900 for each workstation. Extended warranties can add $200 per year, but are worth it if your workstation ever goes down. A top-of-the-line extended warranty will cost even more, but may be worth it if it’s one that offers same-day delivery for a brand new, fully-configured workstation. Before you buy any retail point of sale system, do the research. Choosing the wrong retail POS system can cost you thousands.
