Love the video what would u recommend for a car detailer. Just got a location and starting to go full timer at it.

[@MerchantMaverick]

We recommend Lightspeed Retail integrated with Hubtiger service and repair software for a car detailer. Lightspeed Retail provides the invoicing, payment processing and inventory management you need to run your business. Hubtiger offers more detailing job management features: service appointment scheduling, checklists for different detailing service packages, automated customer communications, and digital job cards to view the status of all cars at your location.

Hi, what would be your pick for a lower budget corner store pos? not complicated just to put smal sales through.....

[@MerchantMaverick]

Hey there! If you don't have a high sales volume then you can't go wrong with Square and if you're wanting a free POS system to compare it to, you may want to check out Loyverse to see if you like them better. To learn more, visit our Loyverse VS Square POS comparison! We hope this helps 💪 www.merchantmaverick.com/loyverse-vs-square/

Do you recommend NRS POS for smoke shop business? They charge a 2.49% plus 10c / transaction, which you can charge the customer. My location is in a local neighborhood where I don't feel comfortable charging those fees to the customers. I want the same price for customers irrespective if they are paying cash or card. So if I have to pay a flat fee for a business that does about $40k in credit card transactions, what do you recommend?

[@MerchantMaverick]

Hi! NRS is a solid POS system, but it's important to watch out for hidden fees. If you're not comfortable passing processing fees on to customers, we recommend considering a system like Korona instead.

Very useful and interesting content! 🤩

Great to hear! Thanks for watching. We appreciate your support! 😊

[@celestehusband1685]

Which one would you recommend for a resale store for clothing. For sure brick and mortar and possibly down the road wanting to do online.

[@MerchantMaverick]

Hi! We think if you have a decent-sized budget, Lightspeed Retail could be a good choice, especially for a business that has a lot of SKUs. If you want something a little more affordable that would also be a good fit for online selling down the road, maybe check out Shopify's platform. We'll link our Lightspeed Retail & Shopify review below. Hope this helps! www.merchantmaverick.com/reviews/lightspeed-retail-review/ www.merchantmaverick.com/reviews/shopify-pos-review/

Are any Pos systems compatible with Quickbooks Online it will be for a convenience store / mini market?

[@MerchantMaverick]

Most major POS systems integrate with QuickBooks but, depending on the size of your business, Square and Clover might be the most affordable options. If your budget is a little higher, we'd recommend you also check out POS Nation.

[@MarceyLachance]

What would you recommend for a small business that has both restaurant and retail? We have approximately 5,000 different retail items.

[@MerchantMaverick]

Hey, Marcey! If you can afford it, Revel is a great restaurant POS that can also handle complex inventory. Revel will have everything you need in a POS and probably quite a bit more, but if you're looking for a more affordable system, you might want to go with Clover as their system is also designed for both restaurants and retail establishments. We encourage you to check out both our Revel & Clover reviews to make an informed decision for your business needs. We'll link them below.

I've been using Final POS, it's newer but it is fully customizable builder which has been great for building a self-service coffee station.

[@MerchantMaverick]

Hey, Austin! We're glad to hear that you've found something that works for you. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

[@MelandréDelaPorte]

Hi there, Very interesting video! Thank you. Would like your opinion please... We bought a Garden Center- there is no barcode system and all the new and old inventory are still written in by hand. Which system do you recommend? Would like to keep track of inventory and cash.

[@MerchantMaverick]

Hi there! Lightspeed Retail would probably be our recommendation if you have some advanced inventory needs and have the budget for it. You can also check out our article specifically on garden center POS systems! We hope this helps 😊 www.merchantmaverick.com/garden-center-pos-systems/

Hi - If the cost of the clover isnt a factor (merchant services provider said they will buy), would you say that swings it in favor of Clover for a new retail store?

[@MerchantMaverick]

Clover is great software if you are purchasing from a reputable provider. Just make sure you read and understand the terms before you sign up for any kind of extended contract. To learn more about Clover, check out our review. We hope this helps! www.merchantmaverick.com/reviews/clover-pos-system-review/

[@dhavalpatel9154]

Which pos system you recommend for Convineance store with 2000+ inventory and 35000 monthly sales.

[@MerchantMaverick]

Great question! If you’re running a smaller convenience store, we’d recommend checking out Square for Retail’s paid tier-it offers advanced inventory management that could really help streamline things. If you have a bit more budget and need features tailored specifically to convenience stores, POS Nation is another great option.

[@kaninibitris]

Which is the best one for a purely online business, selling clothes for example, to different types of clients(B2C), just want something simple to record sales, expenses and inventory. I have no employees

[@MerchantMaverick]

Hey! if your business is a small operation that just needs a simple website for selling, Square should have everything you need for a really affordable price (maybe even free). If you find that you need some more frills with your online store, you might want to look in Shopify. We hope this helps! Check out our Square vs. Shopify video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZi2mpJ9aJmpqpIsi=j1opDX_-V9xDnjuT If you're considering starting with Square, you can use the code MerchantMaverick20 for 20% off your first hardware purchase at Square PO (valid through 9/30/24). 💪

[@rashedulalam5866]

I’m opening a small Restaurant with around 20 person seating and estimated transaction of around 40-50k per month. 30% of the sale we estimating is would be through UberEats/Doordash. I want something what very low processing fee if possible. What would you recommend?? Btw starting out in this venture w/ zero knowledge and your videos are very informative. Thanks so much for these info.

[@MerchantMaverick]

For someone just starting out, we would definitely recommend Square for Restaurants. They offer a free plan and competitive processing rates. Additionally, they integrate with third-party delivery services! Check out our Square for Restaurants review. We hope this helps! www.merchantmaverick.com/reviews/square-for-restaurants-pos-review/

what is the best pos system for a medium sized liquor store looking to expand eventually?

[@MerchantMaverick]

Hi there! It's hard to recommend a POS system with having little to no information about your business. We do have a blog post specifically for the best pos system for liquor stores that we recommend you check out! Best of luck on your search! 😊 www.merchantmaverick.com/best-liquor-store-pos-systems/

[@WineWarehouseofAtlanticBeach]

Hello- Are you familiar with Quantic POS for retail? Cloud based- what is your view on those? Thanks!

[@MerchantMaverick]

Hey! Quantic POS is a fairly new retail POS system that works on iPads and Android tablets. It's main perks are that you can use any payment processor for no added monthly fee and start a cash discount program to avoid payment processing fees altogether, if you want. However, there is no pricing information available, customer support ignored our requests for basic pricing and early termination fee info, and the newness of the system means that there are still bugs that need to be fixed. We hope this helps! 🙌

[@ri.f4610]

Hello, Which POS system would you suggest for a clothing boutique that also needs a barcode system for logistics?

[@MerchantMaverick]

Hi there! We recommend Lightspeed Retail for a clothing boutique that requires a barcode system. The POS system integrates with the free Lightspeed Scanner app, which allows you to turn your iOS or Android device into a barcode scanner to easily receive, transfer, and count stock. With the Scanner app, you can also scan items and add them to a purchase order, which streamlines the reordering process. It's also free to generate and print barcode labels in bulk from the inventory section of your Lightspeed dashboard. To learn more about Lightspeed Retail, check out our review. We hope this helps! www.merchantmaverick.com/reviews/lightspeed-retail-review/

[@louskunt9798]

Awesome video! Which POS do you recommend for a single location retail furniture store? I like Shopify and Lightspeed but there’s no way we are going to pay those high fees for credit card processing.

[@louskunt9798]

We’d prefer to be able to retain our existing CC processing company instead of singing up for a POS that requires we use them for processing. Thanks again!✌️

[@MerchantMaverick]

Shopify and Lightspeed are both good choices for an establishment like yours and I would suggest Lightspeed if you need more POS features and Shopify if you do a lot of your selling online. Unfortunately, those processing fees are pretty standard in the industry. If you're looking to save on processing fees you could check out Helcim, which is a great low-cost POS option but their feature set won't be as robust. We hope this helps! 🤗 You can check out our reviews: - Lightspeed Retail: www.merchantmaverick.com/reviews/lightspeed-retail-review/ - Shopify: www.merchantmaverick.com/reviews/shopify-pos-review/ - Helcim: www.merchantmaverick.com/reviews/helcim-pos-review/

[@tomnguyen9856]

Can you explain why its not cost effective for businesses to use interchange + rate when average sizes are

[@MerchantMaverick]

It’s not quite so cut and dry, because transaction volume (how much you process per month) also makes a big difference, but yes, generally low-volume and low ticket size businesses will pay less using a flat-rate processor like Square. Looking at an individual low-ticket sale, say, a $5 transaction, Square charges 2.6% + $0.10, so you’ll pay $0.23. On a typical interchange-plus plan, you might pay 0.25% + $0.12 + interchange, which would out come somewhere around $0.25 (factoring in an average interchange rate of 2%, though interchange could be more or less depending on the type of card used). Another aspect of the equation is that PSPs are typically free to use and don’t charge a monthly fee, while most interchange plus processors charge a monthly fee as well as other miscellaneous account fees (Helcim is an exception). All that being said, 1.5% + interchange is a pretty high rate, regardless of your average transaction size. Interchange usually ranges from 1-4% (sometimes more) so that means you’re paying 5.5%+ on some transactions. We hope this helps! 💪

cuando estará square para México?

[@MerchantMaverick]

Square currently does not operate in Mexico and does not appear to be something that will change imminently. If you are operating in Mexico, Odoo POS might be a good company to check out. Good luck! 😊 www.odoo.com/app/point-of-sale-shop

Hey what type of pos system is the best to run a business without you in boutique

[@MerchantMaverick]

Without knowing many details about your boutique, Square, Clover, and Lightspeed are all solid all-around options. Check out this article for a more in-depth breakdown of POS systems for boutiques and clothing stores. Thanks for stopping by! www.merchantmaverick.com/best-boutique-retail-pos/

Great 👍 info, what about Moneris? Vrs Square? I’ve been w Square for 5 yrs but since they increased fees on Debits transactions 😢I’m not liking it anymore. Bank offers Moneris? Pros and cons of Moneris pls, ❤thanks

[@MerchantMaverick]

Hi there! Moneris has just about every kind of hardware and software product you would need to run either a retail or online business. However, a downside is the the company’s lengthy contracts and hefty early termination fees. Moneris’ pricing and contract terms are geared more toward large businesses rather than small startups. While Square's an excellent low-cost POS system because the company offers free and affordable in-person POS software, a free eCommerce store builder, and affordable POS hardware. It's really the best low-cost option. Ultimately it depends on your business's needs. To learn more about Moneris, check out our review.

Do any of these offer a QR code to take the customer to the inventory so they can purchase what they want without us being present?

[@MerchantMaverick]

Hi there! While most POS systems now offer QR code integrations for payments, I would look at Square, Clover, or Shopify if setting up QR codes for your inventory is a high priority for your business.

I've been using square with my android since 2013 so that part is confusing

[@MerchantMaverick]

Hi there! Do you mind clarifying what is confusing? Maybe we can help! 😊

[@jerrymebane7825]

Great video, I'm just starting up my Pack and ship store. I've been in touch with Clover so far. I just want more help with making the right decision for my business without a hefty start up POS price. Any suggestions? I have mailboxes, Access point for Fedex, Ups, Amazon, and USPS. Notary on site and passport photos and other offers as well.

[@MerchantMaverick]

Hey, Jerry! Pack and ship stores have very unique business needs, so you will most likely operate best with PostalMate shipping store management software. There is a one-time $295 setup fee and a monthly subscription fee, but you can install the software on most PCs, minimizing the startup costs. You can also integrate PostalMate with several credit card processors, so you can find the one that gives you the best payment processing rates and fees. We hope this helps! Best of luck. 😊
