On the cost question, the general pattern is that per-transaction pricing tracks revenue while flat-rate tracks location count, so the crossover depends on average ticket size far more than store count. A retailer with small baskets across many stores reaches it much earlier than one with high-value transactions. That&#39;s a calculation any team can run against their own last twelve months, and it&#39;s more reliable than any general benchmark. The unified inventory and customer data across sites described for Square Point of Sale is a separate axis worth weighing alongside it.
