There are three main components of cost for Seamless POS, we always aim to be simple and transparent with our pricing:

  • Software subscription costs

  • Hardware costs

  • Card Payment standing charges and terminal rental

Software costs

As discussed in another article, there is no contract and the cost for the different price plans ranges from £19/m+vat which includes, hosting, updates, support & software license.

Hardware costs

A typical setup consists of iPad, mount, receipt printer and cash drawer. Additionally you may wish to have prep station printers.

iPads: can be the most basic model (circa £300+vat or from £180+vat refurbished)

iPad mount: typically £99+vat for a secure mount

Receipt / prep Printer: Circa £229+vat

Cash drawer: £49+vat

This would bring a bundle (without iPad) to a ballpark figure of £377+vat, a fraction of what legacy solutions cost.

Card payment costs

We signpost our customers to compatible, integrated card payment solutions that we have selected as being a great deal for our customers. To see the latest options visit our payments page or reach out to our team.

  • Standing charges - e.g PCI compliance, can often be £5-10 per month. Several of our preferred providers don't charge for this service.

  • Terminal rental - the card machine is a complex device, typical rental starts at £19.99/m

  • Payment fees - auth fees £0.01-0.05, acquiring fees from 0.5% dependent on card type and business turnover.

Finance

Although the hardware cost is significantly lower than traditional solutions we understand that businesses, especially when just starting up may wish to spread out all available costs. We've enabled a number of finance solutions such Klarna at our checkout to provide options for financing the cost of the hardware.
