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 processing charges

Software costs

As discussed in another article, there is no contractual commitment and the cost for the different price plans can be viewed on the pricing page - which includes, use of the software, data hosting, updates & support.

Hardware costs

A typical setup consists of iPad, mount, receipt printer and cash drawer. Additionally you may wish to have prep station printers e.g. kitchen/bar/barista.

iPads: can be the most basic model (circa £300+vat or from £130+vat refurbished)

iPad mount: typically £59+vat for a secure mount

Receipt / prep Printer: Circa £150+vat

Cash drawer: £37.50+vat

This would bring a bundle (without iPad) to a ballpark figure of £245+vat, a fraction of what legacy solutions cost.

We also run promotions in conjunction with our preferred card payment partners which sometimes can reduce the hardware costs.

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, many of our providers allow outright purchase of the readers and some of our special offers include a reader in the bundle with no rental fees.

  • Payment fees - auth fees £0.01-0.05, acquiring fees from 0.5% dependent on card type and business turnover. Again, our selected providers often wont charge auth fees and will offer blended and unblended rate options.

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 Iwoca and Klarna at our checkout to provide options for financing the cost of the hardware.
