You get what you pay for. I sell hundreds of Quickbooks software to small businesses every year. You can personalize the software to fit your business. Quickbooks Pro starts out @ $199.99 and sometimes you can find it on sale for as low as $99.00 at Officemax or any office supply outlet or on-line. Go with the best. I don't work for Intuit by the way.

Depends on the Quickbooks you use. Quickbooks POS does everything you need for inventory control, invoicing, ect. for hundereds of items daily. A POS regester system can also be purchased from Quickbooks that includes cash drawer, credit card scanner, bar code reader, receipt printer and the Q/B POS software. All you need to do is hook the system up to a computer and load the program. Again, I don't work for Intuit, but I have sold the product.

Quickbooks is expensive if you are really struggling.

You can purchase POS MAID on ebay for $28. It is great for one computer except there are problems if networked. We have been using this for 4 months on 4 computers.

You can also get Retail Ice on ebay for about the same price. I really love this program but it can't be used with more than one computer. We used this one for 2 years but we needed to run more than one computer.

If you want inventory management and don't want to pay for a full POS, then just buy QuickBooks Pro and an inventory scanner, and use it that way. You can get a cash box to manage the actual money. If you need additional help or to get a great deal, let us help you at www.quickbooks-consulting.com
Hope this helps!

Ok here me out on this one. You may not want to believe me, but you will pay the price for not listening to me.

DO NOT get free POS software. They are cheap, crappy, hard to operate software. Furthermore, think about this. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR SYSTEM GOES DOWN? aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, if that's what your thinking, yo'ure right. YOUR DEAD MEAT LOL! So that's why I recommend you to get something that is RELIABLE, and that you can get technical SUPPORT for. Software that is coded crapily and stops working after a while just isn't worth it.

Now as to the good software, quickbook and myob and microsoft pos is good. They are around $500 each. The non-POS editions are probably even more cheaper, ~ $200. You should also think about ChikPOS Checkout, that one is $269 (a little more expensive than non-POS quickbook, myob), but it is oriented towards POS requirements.

Personally, I've had NO problems with it whatsoever. It's a Jeremy Shum Invent so its a quality Aussie product too - helping the economy. The features are also endless... multi-language support, managerial decision making reports, not locked to hardware, fully multi-touch (like iphone), external monitor support, xbrl compliant, auto-generation of online store, can advertise "related products", corporate chat support, show time/date/news on external screen... it's just top stuff. AND it's Windows 7 compatible!

Well I went onto the Web site and filled out the on-line form. No response as yet.

There must be a simple switch, command embedded in RUNIT that was set.

I have rev 4.0, which they claim they no longer support. I must buy the upgrade to 5.0 or use their Real-Time POS software that cost $100 plus a month.
And you must use their Merchant Services as it is integrated in the software. After thirty years in IT, this is bull.

I do know that my three locations all had the exact same problem at the exact same time. They claim that 15 others had the same issue.

So anyone else with this issue?

I can run everything else, except receive payments. It just clears the amount typed in.

On another note I was looking for an option to Export the data bases, but cannot find any. I can copy, but not export.
