Track Inventory Automatically as You Ring Up Sales

Track inventory accurately and effortlessly
Record each shipment of merchandise you receive in your store, and Point of Sale automatically adjusts inventory figures with each sale or return, so you can keep the items your customers want on–hand without overstocking.

See what's moving, what's low, what's on–order
Improve your cash flow by purchasing the right merchandise in the right quantities at the right time. See inventory levels for each item as you ring it up. Run reports with one click that show what you've got, what's hot, and what you need to reorder.

Ring Up Sales Faster

Barcode scanning saves time and reduces errors
Use our Bar Code Scanner to record items in sales receipts instantly--your inventory is automatically updated when the sale is completed. With Point of Sale, you can create barcoded tags for everything you sell, ensuring you ring up the correct item and price--and keep your inventory up to date.

Process credit and debit card sales automatically
Authorize credit card and PIN debit card purchases automatically--and collect tips on credit payments–as you ring up sales. All you need is QuickBooks Point of Sale and a QuickBooks POS Merchant Service Account. It's the only credit and debit card processing service that lets you record and authorize transactions in QuickBooks Point of Sale with a single swipe--no need to re-key data. Yet it's priced competitively with other merchant services that don't offer this advantage.

Gift cards can bring you new and repeat business
Bring new and repeat customers into your store as they buy and redeem gift cards. QuickBooks Point of Sale Gift Card Service2 lets you offer this convenience without the hassles and risks of paper certificates. Just swipe the card through your Credit Card Reader, then enter the value. To redeem, swipe the card, then ring up a sale, and the balance is decreased automatically.

Provide Great Customer Service

Track customer information that matters
By tracking your customers' email and shipping addresses, you have what you need to let them know about upcoming sales or new inventory from their preferred manufacturers.

See a complete purchase history with each sale
Enter your customers' credit card numbers or names as you ring up sales, and see their complete purchasing histories and any additional information you've captured.

Easily communicate with customers
Quickly generate letters to your customer and vendors! QuickBooks Point of Sale integrates with Microsoft Word7 so you can automatically create letters (from standard and custom templates) that are tied to customer orders, former receipts, purchase orders, vendors and more. Plus, you can also send letters to a pre–defined set of customers, for example your best customers, or those customers who have ordered over a certain amount from you.

View each customer's purchase history as you ring up sales, and suggest additional purchases based on past preferences.
