RetailEdge pays for itself in months.
Processing Costs	Negotiable and Variable	2.75%	Square’s processing costs might sound good at first and if you are a micro-business doing only a few sales a day, Square is an inexpensive way to take credit cards for those sales you normally might not be able to process. However, if you start doing any kind of volume 2.75%/transaction can be expensive. The flat rate makes it easy to understand, but not necessarily the best deal.
