Available through Payment GurusSimple is a retail point of sale with inventory, invoicing, an online store, and loyalty built in. Card processing is 2.19% flat, in person and online, with no per-swipe fee and no contract. We set it up with you and stay on the phone after.
Square charges 2.6% plus 15 cents on every in-person sale. On a $9 sale the 15 cents is a big piece of the fee. Put in your own ticket size and volume. If you are on something other than Square, change the rate and the per-swipe fee to match your quote.
Estimate only. It compares card fees and nothing else. Simple's software plan is $29 to $399 a month per location. Your real numbers depend on your sales.
Most stores end up paying for a register, an inventory app, an invoicing tool, and a loyalty program that do not talk to each other. Simple puts them in one system with one login and one customer list.

Everyone compares the percentage. The 15 cents is what hurts a store selling drinks, snacks, vapes, and phone chargers all day. Here is the same $9 sale on Square and on Simple.
2.6% + 15¢
23 cents of percentage plus 15 cents of fixed fee. 38 cents on a $9 sale, which is 4.3% of the ticket.
2.19% flat
20 cents on the same sale. The rate you were quoted is the rate you pay, whether the ticket is $4 or $400.
Simple is lower than Square on every in-person sale. The smaller the ticket, the wider the gap.
No leases and no rental. Simple also runs on a desktop, a laptop, a tablet, or a phone, and works with most standard receipt printers, barcode scanners, and card readers.
