What is separate from software
Payment processing is not hidden inside a free-software claim. Processing rates, merchant underwriting, terminals, and payment configuration depend on the merchant and are quoted separately. Hardware purchase or lease is also separate from the software total above.
What changes the implementation
Location count, catalog size, data import quality, network readiness, devices, industry modules, employee setup, online ordering, and payment configuration all affect the go-live plan. The sales and implementation teams confirm those facts before promising a date.
Why we publish the price
An operator should be able to estimate the core software cost before a call. For three stations, software is $200 per month: $100 for the first station and $50 for each of two additional stations. No zero-dollar software claim is used to blur that number.
