2.4 Additional Information
- TSE Compliance Fee: This is a mandatory fee of €5 per cashier, applicable to plans with POS options. The fee covers compliance costs associated with the use of POS systems. If a business requires more than one cashier, this fee is multiplied by the number of cashiers as a new plan.
- Minimum Subscription Period: All KulturCart plans come with a 3-year minimum subscription period. This commitment ensures stable, long-term support and service for businesses using KulturCart's platform.
- Additional Hardware Costs: If a business opts for POS hardware (either All-in-One or Handheld), there are additional costs. These can be covered either through a monthly rental fee or a one-time purchase fee, depending on the business's preference.
- Plan Customization: KulturCart understands that each business has unique needs. Therefore, plans can be tailored or adjusted to better fit specific operational requirements or preferences.
2.5 Additional Charges for Custom Integrations and Functionalities
As part of KulturCart's commitment to providing a flexible and adaptable platform for our vendors, we offer the option of integrating new payment processors and implementing customizations or additional functionalities. However, it's important to note that these services may incur additional charges:
- New Payment Processor Integration Fee: If a vendor requires the integration of a payment processor not currently supported by KulturCart, we can facilitate this integration. A fee will be charged for this service, which will be calculated based on the complexity and resource requirements of the integration process.
- Customization and Additional Functionality Fee: KulturCart strives to meet the diverse needs of our vendor community. If a vendor requests customizations or additional functionalities that are beyond our standard offerings, we can provide these services at an additional cost. This cost will be determined based on the nature and scope of the requested customizations or functionalities.
2.6 Ensuring Flexibility and Personalization
These additional services are part of KulturCart's effort to ensure that our platform is not only robust and feature-rich but also flexible and personalized to meet the unique needs of each vendor. We understand that businesses may have specific requirements, and we are committed to providing tailored solutions that help them succeed.
- Personalized Approach: We take a personalized approach to each request, ensuring that the solutions we provide align perfectly with the vendor's business objectives and operational needs.
- Transparent Pricing: All charges for custom integrations and functionalities will be transparently communicated to the vendors beforehand, ensuring they make informed decisions.

3.1 Multiple Payment Methods and Processing Fees
KulturCart offers a streamlined and direct payment system, ensuring that transactions between customers and vendors are efficient and secure.

Vendors are responsible for setting up their preferred payment methods through the vendor panel, allowing for personalized transaction management.
Direct Payment Process:
- Vendor-Managed Transactions: Payments are made directly from the customer to the vendor. KulturCart does not hold or manage these funds, ensuring immediate revenue for the vendors.

- Broad Range of Payment Methods: By incorporating various third-party payment systems, KulturCart's POS will support a wide array of payment methods, catering to the diverse preferences of customers.
- Enhanced Convenience: This integration is designed to enhance convenience for vendors by reducing the hardware requirements at checkout points and simplifying the management of transactions.
Implementation and Vendor Support
- Planned Implementation: The specifics of which third-party systems will be integrated and the timeline for implementation are currently under consideration. We aim to select partners that align with our commitment to reliability, security, and ease of use.
