FAQ
Common questions about plans and rates.
Can I upgrade from Basic to Premium later?
Contact us when your needs change. We will confirm the revised feature scope, register count, pricing, and effective date in writing.
What is included in each plan?
The published cards are a starting point. Your written order controls included features, registers, billing, equipment, and support.
Who adds products to the online shop?
The merchant controls product content and decides which eligible products to publish. Cinder catalog rules block tobacco, cigarette, cigar, and vape categories from online publication.
Does Cinder support keyed or online card entry?
The current Deluxe integration is for supported in-store card-present terminal transactions. Keyed, card-not-present, ACH, and online Deluxe checkout are not included.
Are processing rates the same for American Express?
Published in-store examples differ by plan and card brand. Your approved Deluxe merchant agreement controls the rate that applies to each transaction.
Are there auth fees or monthly processing minimums?
Processor fees, assessments, reserves, minimums, and settlement terms are controlled by your Deluxe merchant agreement. Review it before activation.
How much is an extra register?
Each additional register license beyond what your plan includes is $15/month. Basic and Premium both include 1 register.
Do I need to buy hardware from Cinder?
Not necessarily. Annual plans include one POS hardware kit free: terminal, receipt printer, barcode scanner, and cash drawer. On monthly billing you can buy hardware from us or reuse compatible equipment, and we document your setup before launch.
How much does Cinder POS cost?
Published software pricing starts at $79/month for Basic and $109/month for Premium. Annual billing shows a discounted monthly-equivalent rate and includes one POS hardware kit free. On monthly billing, hardware is purchased separately. Setup and Deluxe processing are confirmed in writing.
Is Cinder POS good for retail shops, restaurants, or daycares?
Yes. Cinder is built for independent retail and smoke shops, restaurants and bars, and daycares. See the industry pages for business-type details.
Can I book a demo before buying?
Yes. Use Book a Demo on the contact page. Share your product mix, register count, and payment volume so we can walk through a practical setup and pricing path.
Does annual billing save money?
Yes. Annual billing is quoted as a discounted monthly-equivalent rate billed once per year. Annual plans also include one POS hardware kit free. The pricing toggle on the pricing page shows monthly and annual options side by side.
Is Cinder a browser-based POS?
Yes. Cinder runs in a supported modern browser for POS and back-office work. Compatible hardware and Deluxe terminals are confirmed during setup.
