List the counter tasks the shop needs the POS to handle, such as recording sales, issuing receipts, or tracking stock, and identify which staff and locations need access. Then compare those needs with the current tier descriptions and limits.

Check the actual number of users or branches required for this shop rather than choosing from a generic rule. Confirm what each tier includes, which features require a particular setup, and whether any current fee or renewal term changes the total cost.

Before committing, test the relevant workflow with representative products and verify what the system records. A tier that suits one shop may not suit another; recheck the fit if staffing, locations, or transaction processes change. Include training needs and existing equipment in the comparison, too. Do not pay for unused capacity without a clear need.
