Retail Payroll Software

Retail payroll software helps store owners and managers calculate wages, withhold taxes, and pay their team accurately and on time. Unlike generic payroll software built for salaried office workers, Homebase retail payroll software for hourly teams handles variable schedules, multiple wage rates, part-time and full-time staff, and W-2 employees and 1099 contractors in a single payroll run. Homebase payroll for retail stores connects directly to time clocks and scheduling, so hours flow into payroll automatically—no manual data entry, no scrambling on payday.

Yes—Homebase supports multi-location payroll so you can pay employees from multiple stores in a single run when they share the same FEIN.

Retail payroll software typically ranges from $25–$100+ per month depending on features and employee count. Homebase retail payroll services are straightforward: $49/month base + $6 per employee paid. No setup fees, no hidden charges, and unlimited payroll runs included.

Yes. Homebase makes retail payroll tax filing easy, handling W-2 employees and 1099 contractors in the same payroll run—all correctly classified, with the right tax treatment for each. W-2s and 1099-NECs are generated and delivered automatically by January 31, so there's no separate process or manual reconciliation at year-end.

Yes. Homebase lets you add commission as an earning type when running payroll for your store, so your retail associates get paid accurately. However, we do not automatically calculate commission based on sales data—you'll need to enter the commission amount manually before running payroll. From there, Homebase handles the rest: taxes, withholding, and direct deposit.

Homebase is built for multi-location retail payroll—all your store locations run in a single payroll run, with no duplicate data entry or separate submissions. Homebase tracks hours for team members covering multiple store locations, applies overtime rules across locations, and handles multi-state tax withholding automatically. You can also set multiple wage rates per employee (for example: stocker, cashier, sales associate) and we’ll apply the correct rate automatically based on the role they were scheduled for. All federal, state, and local payroll taxes are calculated per location and filed automatically every pay period, so you stay compliant across every city you operate in.
