What are the costs associated with Retail POS?

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: Retail POS question

We have been using the Square POS for a couple of years and it is great. We are looking into the inventory management and online sales portion of Square and have some questions.

While our current Square account is free and easy to understand, the Retail POS system seems to have more costs associated after the 30 day trial?:

- $60/month Per location, for one point of sale

- 2.5% + 10¢ Per swipe, dip, or tap

Can someone shed light on this for me before we make the decision to go with this system?

Here are a couple of threads that will help explain the differences between the POS and Square for Retail systems:

I hope these help you make your decision.

Thanks for answering this one @GlassJudy! I just wanted to add this Support Center article has more information about the pricing Square for Retail including examples of how the pricing works if you have multiple devices/location and a breakdown of the per transaction fee!
