Frequently asked questions

Why switch from Square to ParallelPOS?Square starts free but grows expensive as you add staff, payroll, loyalty and marketing — each an add-on subscription. ParallelPOS includes POS, inventory, CRM, scheduling, payroll and an AI copilot in one flat plan from $149.99/month.
Does ParallelPOS lock me into a payment processor?No. Unlike Square, where the hardware and processing are one company, ParallelPOS has no processor lock-in — keep the rates you negotiated, and switch processors without switching your POS.
Can ParallelPOS handle multiple locations like Square for Retail Plus?Yes — multi-location inventory sync, transfers between stores, per-location reporting and role-based staff access are standard, and pricing is a published flat price per location with everything included — no add-on stacking on top.
