The trade-offs at two locations: Square vs Shopify POS for a store with two locations

One time: hardware

Hardware is paid once and is not in the monthly estimate. A counter can start at $49 with a Tap & Chip reader and a phone or tablet you own. One full counter (stand, POS Terminal, receipt printer, scanner, cash drawer and POS Hub) comes to $1,204 at list prices, before tax and shipping.

About these numbers

  • Estimates use list prices, one card rate for every in-person sale and POS Pro at every location. Your statement can differ.
  • Shopify's POS Pro yearly offer (when we checked: free setup help from Shopify or a credit toward a partner's costs, and a hardware discount) is Shopify's offer, not ours, and its terms can change.

  • Merchant Dash LLC may earn referral revenue from Shopify if you choose a paid Shopify plan or Shopify POS Pro after working with us. That never changes what you pay Shopify.
