Upfront cost. Full setup — workstation, handheld, KDS, customer display — nothing due at signing.
No monthly fees. Software fees waived for a full year, then $29.99 per device per month.
Sign-up bonus. For qualifying new merchants — switching from another POS is not required.
And these come standard, not as add-ons:
$0 upfront hardware and 12 months of waived monthly fees apply to qualifying merchants on the Advantage program, up to 4 devices, subject to approval and change. *The $5,000 sign-up bonus is for qualifying new merchants, requires a minimum of $30,000 in monthly processing volume, and cannot be combined with the 12-months-free software offer. Ask your specialist for full terms.
