Quick answer · Updated 2 Nov 2026
HitPay POS software costs S$0 a month, with no daily fee. Each POS sale carries a 0.2% POS fee on top of the payment fee: in-person cards are 2.5% + S$0.50 and PayNow 0.4% (min S$0.10). A free POS app that only records sales still needs a separate terminal or payment provider to take cards and PayNow, so compare the total per sale.
Example: a S$100 card sale costs S$3.00 + S$0.20 POS fee = S$3.20; a S$100 PayNow sale costs S$0.40 + S$0.20 = S$0.60
Tap to Pay on a supported phone is free; terminals are one-time purchases (SoundBox S$30, WisePad 3 S$85, FlexiPOS S$500)
Online checkout, payment links and the Shopify and WooCommerce plugins run on the same account
