so many issues with this software - built on an ancient Excel platform and they have not invested $$ to update it. Often times, it was the same problem from a week ago.Even on the way out, they screw you. Call quickbooks and spend 2 hours on line while they fix the problem of the day. I am not exaggerating - HOURS - our routine was. It was not the "online" software, so how can it be corrupt? Be aware that the system will NOT be up and running efficiently - ever.so when they start charging you by the minute for help calls - after 60 days - they will leave you on hold for hours. The tax collection turns itself off at will - and the "help" line tells you it's because your software is "corrupt" - which is amazing since it's brand new, and ONLY they have been in it. I thought it would streamline inventory check in and pricing, and sales tax collection. I thought it would track inventory and work well with my small business. I thought it would be easily interfaced with QuickBooks Desktop. Please save yourself some time/money/stress and a boatload of trouble - DO NOT USE QuickBooksPOS - go with Square, or write your own software. Minimum expectations not met with QuickBooks POS 18.0 While this in itself wasn't bad it was trying to schedule a time that they were open and the store wasn't open so I could fix this. 5) If your computer crashed or you need to get a new computer, you would have to setup the new computer and reinstall the software on the new computer along with the help of QB POS Tech Support.

If your business had fixed assets then ideally this would be a good solution. 4) Constantly trying to add new inventory and remove old inventory was kind of a hassle. If we had 2 computers it would have been more expensive.

I remember it was affordable for an upgrade for me and we only had 1 POS computer & 1 seat.

3) The software upgrade is a little pricey for 1 upgrade. For our online store each time someone purchased something online we had to update our instore inventory and vica-versa. that seemed more eager and 2) Does not integrate with an online store presence. I learned to reach out to 3rd party companies for Support. 4) Does not require internet connection if the internet goes down 5) Great reports 6) A great company, with solid reputation, with a good name brand productġ) Customer support is great, but you have to pay for it. 2) Everything is backed up to a single database file on the computer so in the event of a computer crash as long as you're backing up the QBPOS db, you can re-install the software, re-point the db file and get going again. The upgrades are not necessary, but upgrades to provide more features.

Ideally this would be great for a small business that had fixed assets that didn't change and if the SBO didn't want to pour out too much money for a POS.ġ) They release a new product upgrade every other year so there is no need to update your computer software every year. I generally liked the QB POS software and what it did for us. QuickBooks POS - not good for Retail, but anything else maybe
