DreamsPOS License vs Retainer Split

DreamsPOS costs $29 USD once, which means the license itself can never be the agency revenue line. The framework separates what the client buys (a branded POS instance with full source code, unlimited users and locations) from what the agency sells every month (deployment, catalog loading, staff training, payment processor wiring, reporting upkeep). A single-location boutique might pay the agency $299/mo for 16 hours of setup plus 2 hours of monthly care, while the agency's own cost of goods stays at $29 per client. The trap is quoting the license as the offer: a $29 invoice invites price comparison, a $299/mo retainer tied to inventory accuracy and end-of-day reporting does not. Sell the operating outcome, absorb the license as a line item, and the margin sits in delivery hours, not in the software.
