For retailers with one store and up to 2 or 3 checkouts
Some retailers, such as an art store that makes infrequent higher valued sales, or a store that is only open on weekends can benefit from using Fieldpine Online rather than self hosted.
The Self Hosted option is a fixed monthly charge regardless of in store transaction volume. This means if you are only using it a small percentage of the time the effective daily price is higher.
Using Fieldpine Online, the pricing is based more around how often you use it, with small standby charges for storage.
If you use Fieldpine 10 days a month, then your cost will be somewhere in the region of $10 - $20 per month, depending on actual usage patterns. This can go even lower in some cases.
Some retail operations naturally make many sales per day or have large surges in sales/hour
These stores should lean towards the self hosted store controller as there are no transactional/volume pricing concerns.
The price includes 2 PosGreen checkouts. If you need more to handle lunchtime rush or christmas, then add more PosGreen lanes ($40/month or daily usage charged)
If 2 lanes is normally enough, but sometimes you need 3, then use the variable pricing for the 3rd lane, which cost 15cents per day it is turned on, and a maximum of $2/day if used heavily.
If however you constantly need 3 lanes, then the fixed $40/month may be price attractive.
A multi store retailer is one that has 2 to 5 stores. If you exceed this or have an inhouse IT team then see the Corporate Retailers examples
A corporate retailer has a large number of trading outlets as one entity.
With the agency model, a single store may have a large number of external agencies performing the actual selling on their behalf.
If the agency store has complete access to all other stores and agencies data then it is treated as a secondary store within Fieldpine.
If the agency store should only see a subset of data such as sales or customers then it is configured as a standalone Fieldpine retailer and tied to the parent store.
As agency stores are typically low volume, we recommened using Fieldpine Online for the store controller and variable pricing for the sales usage.
If you have a custom built and supported way of capturing sales then you may only need the Fieldpine store Controller. This might be an automated vending machine ,a retailer specific mobile App or perhaps a website with Fieldpine integration.
To support this, you need either a Fieldpine Online Store controller or a self hosted Store controller if you prefer inhouse. You do not need any of the PosGreen options.
Technically speaking, the store controller provides the bulk of the retail functionality and PosGreen uses those APIs to capture sales, so if you have your own way of capturing sales it can call the same APIs that PosGreen does.
