Is Square’s 15¢ per-sale fee eating your profit?
Modern counter-service POS for independent cafes, delis, and retail. Complete done-for-you menu migration, 0% card processing markup, and dedicated local launch support. Runs in the browser on an iPad, Mac, or PC.
Engineered specifically for cafes, delis, pet shops & retail averaging under $100 per sale.
The hidden per-sale fees eating small store profits.
A local coffee shop owner with two stores: $140,248 in card sales across 8,336 transactions, average ticket $16.82. Stripe’s percentage is higher. The whole saving comes from the per-sale fee: a dime on every swipe. Any shop averaging under $100 a sale comes out ahead on card fees.
One month of real sales data, August 2026. Rates are Square’s and Stripe’s published US in-person rates as of October 2026. Savings shown are card fees only, before OwnPoint’s monthly fee. Yours depend on your volume and ticket size.
