QuickBooks Point of Sale Pro is software that lets a PC in a retail store perform the functions of a cash register while keeping track of inventory, customer information, and purchasing history. Linking Point of Sale with QuickBooks financial software allows inventory and sales data to be transferred between the two.

This donation provides one user license. Over a network, up to 20 users can work with the organization's data at the same time. Each user must have both a user license and a separate installation of the same edition and version of Point of Sale.

Benefits for Organizations

You can use Point of Sale to:

• Use a PC as a cash register at your organization's gift shop or front desk.
• Accept payments at offsite events by running Point of Sale on a laptop computer.

Major Capabilities

• Inventory management: Inventory is updated as you ring up sales, returns, and exchanges and receive items.
• Customer or donor tracking: You can save customer information like email addresses and shipping addresses for outreach at a later time.
• Data integration: Data can be integrated or imported from QuickBooks financial software or Microsoft Excel.
• Reports: You can create reports from more than 50 templates to gain insight into your customers, sales, items, purchasing, payments, and employees.
• Credit card transactions: Point of Sale can handle credit and debit card transactions if your organization has a merchant account and the appropriate hardware. Merchant accounts that integrate fully with Point of Sale are available from the Intuit website.
• Add hardware: Cash drawers, card readers, PIN pads, bar code scanners, and receipt printers are available from the Intuit website and are guaranteed to work with Point of Sale.

Support

Point of Sale includes free telephone support for certain types of issues. Other issues require a one-time fee or purchase of a support plan. See Intuit's Point of Sale support policies. All support, including online access, will be discontinued approximately three years from September 2010, the product's original release date.
