Frequently Asked

A few things retailers ask before ordering

Does this require POS integration?

No. indexRFID works alongside your existing POS, whether Shopify, Square, Lightspeed, or any other system. Run it standalone and reconcile counts side by side, or connect Shopify to unlock synced on hand counts, product level reconciliation, and approved corrections pushed back to your store. Integration is optional, never required.

How is indexRFID licensed?

indexRFID is licensed per location: $995 per year, or $99.95 per month, for each store. The Starter Kit includes year 1 for your store. There are no per device or per user fees.

Can I add more hardware later?

Yes. Additional handhelds, additional printers, and label reorders ship from RSG and connect to your existing indexRFID account. There is no per device licensing. All your hardware reports into one account.

What if I have more than one store?

The Starter Kit is sized for a single store. Retailers running 2 to 50 stores work directly with RSG on a multi store quote, with hardware scaled to the rollout and one indexRFID account covering the chain, licensed per location. Request a multi store consultation. Above 50 stores, our enterprise team scopes a custom program.
