In general Business owners should consider the following:

• POS software will increase revenues and decrease cost. Is the POS software cost effective? Do you make/save more money than you spend on the software?
• Training your store staff and setting up the software, inventory items, associates and other items can be as costly (in time or money) as the software.
• Most software is installed on a single terminal basis (one computer) per purchase. Users will buy and set up additional components. Users must also network the software. Consider the full cost of setting up all of the machines and features that you need.
• Many POS software purchases do not include software support, a critical component to efficiently using and installing your software.
• Most POS software does not include an integrated web store and payment gateway. Consider the additional cost of maintaining your web store
• POS software has a large price range, the price range for a typical store for a complete set up can be a few thousand to $20,000.
• It is recommended to create a list of your requirements.
• Can you easily access the software when you are away from the store?
