When They Push Back, Say This

The most common objections from clothing and shoe store owners and how to handle them.

"We already use Shopify / Square / Lightspeed."
"Those are great for basic retail, but are you paying separate for inventory management, loyalty, and a payment processor? We bundle all of that. And if you're doing $30K+, our dual pricing eliminates processing fees — Square and Shopify can't do that."
"Can it handle our inventory? We have hundreds of sizes and colors."
"That's exactly what we built it for. Every product can have variants — size, color, style, season. You can see you're low on Medium Blue V-necks specifically, not just 'V-necks.' And low stock alerts make sure your bestsellers stay in stock."
"How much does it cost?"
"The handheld is just $457 — that's a full POS your sales team can carry on the floor. The counter station is $1,453. And if you're doing $30K+, dual pricing can eliminate your card fees entirely. On thin retail margins, that's real money back in your pocket."
"We do a lot of returns and exchanges."
"Built right in. Returns, exchanges, store credit — it's all handled at the register. Inventory updates automatically, and you can track return rates by product to spot issues early."
"We're a small boutique, we don't need all this."
"Even better — small boutiques thrive on repeat customers. Our loyalty program and customer profiles help you remember every shopper's preferences and bring them back. And the A920 is portable, so your staff can check out customers anywhere in the store. No bulky register needed."
"We sell vintage / consignment — items don't have barcodes."
"No problem. You can add products on the fly with custom pricing, and we can print barcodes and labels for you right from the system. A lot of consignment and thrift stores use our custom label feature for exactly this."

Questions to Ask Early in the Call

These help you figure out which bundle to pitch and which features to lead with.

1

Monthly Revenue

"Roughly what are you doing in monthly revenue?" — If $30K+, lead with dual pricing. On retail margins, eliminating processing fees is a big deal.

2

Inventory Complexity

"How many SKUs? Do you track by size and color?" — If they're doing it manually or on spreadsheets, our variant tracking is a huge upgrade.

3

Current POS

"What are you using now — Shopify, Square, a basic register?" — Find out what they're paying total (POS + processing + add-ons) and show consolidation savings.

4

Customer Retention

"Do you have a loyalty program or customer list?" — If no, that's an easy win. If yes, ask what they're using — we probably replace it.

5

Sales Floor Checkout

"Do your associates ring up customers on the floor, or does everyone go to the counter?" — If they want floor checkout, the A920 handheld is the answer.

6

Locations & Growth

"How many locations? Planning to open more?" — Multi-location pushes toward the Best bundle and centralized management.
