How much does a POS cost for a small shop?

For a shop with 1 register, 1-2 employees and a typical profile of ~100 receipts/day with ~200 SKUs, the Micro package starts at 150 MDL/month and covers everything you need to sell legally: POS + stock + MEV fiscal register integration + unlimited e-Factura + 1 user + email support. The fiscal register hardware is purchased separately, once, from a CIECC-certified distributor.

💰 150 MDL/month · Micro package 📄 Unlimited e-Factura · no per-document fee 🧾 MEV fiscal register integrated · in the software rate 🔓 No tier lock-in · upgrade without migration

What you pay, how you pay

Three types of cost, clearly separated. We list them all so no surprises appear on the second invoice.

1. Monthly software subscription

Micro package — 150 MDL/month. Includes POS, stock, integration with the MEV fiscal register, unlimited e-Factura, 1 user, email support Mon-Fri 9-18, backup + self-service export (JSON/CSV/XML), 500 MB storage, 2 GB traffic/month. Monthly invoice, no long-term commitment.

2. Fiscal hardware · one-time

You buy the fiscal register (MEV, CIECC-certified) directly from an authorised distributor. On request we guide you to the model that fits your volume. The rest of the peripherals (barcode scanner, receipt printer, cash drawer) — likewise, purchased directly by you, with recommendations from us on request.

3. Installation + documentation · included

On the Micro package we install the platform and give you complete video + text documentation for self-service. Onboarding with dedicated training + personal instruction — available on request at additional cost (we quote after discovery). On larger packages (Start+), onboarding with training is included.

No cost per fiscal receipt. No cost per e-Factura. No cost per location for documents. We meter on traffic + storage, generously included in the package.

What is included in the Micro package

All the features below are live in production, used daily by real shops. No roadmap, no "coming soon".

POS for sales

Cart, barcode scanner, quick product search, versioned prices (change the price today — yesterday's receipts keep their price), discount per line or on the total.

Stock + goods receipt

Goods receipt with a scanner, purchase price + mark-up, alert when stock drops below threshold, periodic stock-take with tablet/phone, inventory variance with a mandatory reason for audit.

MEV fiscal register integrated

Fiscal receipt issued instantly from the interface, integration with CIECC-certified modules (IntelectSoft, SoftLider). Our own SGAPPSFISCAL module is under CIECC review (Category 3 ECC).

e-Factura B2B / B2C — unlimited

Issued to a company (customer IDNO), signed, sent to SFS automatically. Local cache for fast history lookup. No cost per document — regardless of volume.

Shift + daily reports

Sales figures, cash vs card vs e-Factura, top products, top losses, comparison vs the last 7/30 days average. Export to CSV/XLSX for your accountant.

SNC Moldova journal

The accountant automatically receives the turnover on accounts 611/711/712/713/714 in accordance with the National Accounting Standards. Monthly export for the VAT return.

Who Micro is a good fit for

Sized precisely for a kiosk / small shop with a single point of sale — simple to administer, predictable cost. When operations grow, you have a natural path to Start / Standard.

Sized for a single point of sale

Micro is optimised for 1 POS — operationally clean, no complications. Extra POS on Micro remains an individual B2B discussion on request, but our typical recommendation is the Start package, sized directly for multi-POS.

Compact team

1 user included, with add-on options. Configurable roles for the "owner + possibly 1 salesperson" scenario. For larger teams with differentiated roles → Start / Standard.

Compact catalogue

500 MB storage (a few hundred products with photos) and 2 GB monthly traffic — enough for the majority of small shops. Add-ons available if the catalogue or traffic grow.

Self-service + email support

Complete video + text documentation for self-service, plus email support (Mon-Fri response). For priority phone support or a dedicated SLA, the higher packages offer that level.

At discovery we assess together whether Micro is a fit for your shop. If the estimated volume exceeds Micro's sizing, we recommend the package that suits you better — straight up, no sales pitch.

Add-ons available on request

The add-ons below are indicative, negotiated individually as a B2B offer — not a rigid list price.

Extra user

from ~20 MDL/month per account, indicative. You hire a new salesperson — add an account, they get their own role, you see what each person sold. Final price: after discovery.

Connected AI assistant (MCP)

from ~300 or ~450 MDL/month, indicative — connect Claude or ChatGPT to your shop, ask "what sold least this month?" and get an answer on your actual data. Details on /en/ai/.

Extra storage / traffic

Exceeding 500 MB storage or 2 GB monthly traffic? We add the necessary add-on (priced by consumption). Many small shops stay under the limit without worry.

Extra POS and extra user — not prohibited on Micro, but remain an individual B2B agreement, not a compulsory standard offer. For multiple POS terminals, the Start package is sized directly for that. The figures above are indicative — the final offer is set in the written quote.

Honest TCO — first year, typical small shop

Illustrative example, real figures vary per venue, per chosen hardware, per catalogue complexity. We use it so you can see the order of magnitude, not as a contractual offer.

Category Frequency Order of magnitude
Micro package (software) Monthly × 12 1,800 MDL/year
MEV fiscal register (hardware) One-time variable · you buy from the distributor
Installation + video / text documentation (Micro) One-time included
Training + personal instruction (optional on Micro) One-time, on request at additional cost, priced after assessment
Catalogue migration from an old POS One-time, on request priced in support hours, after evaluating the source data
Peripherals (scanner, printer, cash drawer) One-time variable · or you use what you already have
e-Factura, fiscal receipts Unlimited 0 MDL/document

Software: fixed figure. The rest: at discovery we tell you the exact range, depending on the hardware you already have and the catalogue that needs to be migrated. Nothing "still to be worked out".

When you outgrow Micro

No absolute fixed upgrade thresholds. For resources that can be scaled (extra user, storage, traffic) there are add-ons. For the structural limits of the package (1 POS, support level) — moving to Start is the natural path.

Stay on Micro + add-ons

For an extra user, storage or extra traffic we handle it with indicative add-ons negotiated individually. But when the cumulative add-ons correspond to a higher package or you need more POS terminals / better support, we recommend moving directly — it becomes more advantageous both economically and operationally.

Move to Start · 700 MDL/month

When you want higher ceilings (receipts/day, SKUs, POS, users) plus the extra features of the Start package, you move without migration — the data stays, only the plan changes. Package comparison on the Decision-maker page.

Frequently asked questions

Is the fiscal register hardware included in the 150 MDL/month?

No. The fiscal register is a separate one-time purchase, directly from a CIECC-authorised distributor — you buy it, we integrate the software with the MEV. On request we guide you to the model that fits your volume (partners IntelectSoft, SoftLider and other SFS-certified suppliers invoice the register directly to you).

Is there a cost per fiscal receipt or per e-Factura?

No. e-Factura is unlimited on any package — whether you issue 100 or 10,000 per month, the cost stays the same. Metering is done on traffic and storage, which are generously included in the package. Fiscal receipts are issued without limit through the fiscal register.

Can I start with the hardware I already have?

Yes, if it is compatible. USB/Bluetooth scanner, thermal printer, cash drawer — if they are from the standard catalogue, the integration is free. Hardware outside the catalogue: we integrate it separately, quoted individually after evaluating the model + drivers. The fiscal register must be CIECC-certified — that is not negotiable, it is a legal requirement.

What happens to the price if I grow — do I start over?

No. We have no fixed upgrade thresholds. When volume grows, either you pay only the add-on you need on the same package (storage, POS +80 MDL/month, user +20 MDL/month, AI assistant +300 / +450 MDL/month), or you move to the higher package when you want larger ceilings + extra features — the data stays, only the plan changes.

Do you provide onboarding + training on Micro?

On Micro: we install the platform + give you complete video and text documentation for self-service. Dedicated training + personal instruction — available on request at additional cost, priced in support hours after assessment. On the larger packages (Start and above), onboarding with training is included. Migrating the catalogue from an old POS — a separate paid request, priced in support hours after evaluating the source data (we cannot estimate accurately without seeing the format).

What do I do if I change my mind?

You have self-service export in Excel format (CSV / XLS / XLSX) at any time — the data is yours, you download it whenever you want. Open formats for integrations (JSON / XML) available via the API. We do not lock you in, neither through format nor through a long contract — the invoice is monthly.

ℹ️ The packages are indicative

The structures above reflect our standard offer, but each client is discussed individually. We adjust the scope (more or fewer modules enabled), the onboarding timeline and the specific configuration according to your business. The binding final offer is the one in the written quote + the signed contract.

Want an exact quote for your shop?

20 minutes on the phone and we tell you exactly which package fits you, which hardware needs to be procured separately, and if you want catalogue migration — we evaluate the source data and quote in support hours. No obligation, no long sales pitch — just numbers.

Book a discussion

We look together for 20 minutes at your shop — we assess whether SGApps is a fit, which fiscal register suits your volume, how long migration might take. The initial consultation is free.
