Hey everyone,

Monthly costs - what are you paying?

I'm running a store in Louisville, KY and looking for advice. We currently have been looking at different options. Any recommendations or experiences to share?

Thanks in advance!

We had the same issue. What worked for us was updating the firmware

The customer loyalty program is definitely worth the extra cost IMO.
