QuickBooks Point of Sale
Cash Register Plus
New to Retail and looking for a simple replacement for your cash register? Cash Register Plus can be a good place to start. The software is designed for retailers who do not hold inventory. It does a good job of ringing up sales (including discounts), processing credit and debit transaction and tracking customers.
Point of Sale Basic
If your storefront holds inventory for resale, this is the first software that you should consider. It has all the functionality of cash register plus and adds the basic tracking of inventory.
Point of Sale Pro
Add advanced inventory tracking with Point of Sale Pro. It adds serial number tracking, generation of purchase orders, sales orders and layaways. It will allow for the tracking of multiple vendors and UPC codes per inventory item. In my history, most retailers need the extra inventory functionality that the Pro software provides.
Point of Sale Multi-store
Sell your products on the web or have more than one location? Then Point of Sale Multi-Store is the right choice.
There are a lot of choices here. For additional details on all of the Point of Sale options, please review this chart.

New features in QuickBooks Point of Sale V10
- New User Interface: Our customers told us that they wanted a cleaner user interface, enabling them to easily perform key tasks such as ringing sales, entering items and tracking customers. The new interface also makes it easier to set up their POS system and train employees and it works well with touch screen monitors.
- Messages feature: In our customer visits over the years, we've noticed that just about every retailer has a handful of sticky notes attached to their monitor, with reminders to call a customer about a special order, hold an item for pickup, or reminders of an upcoming store meeting or vendor appointment. Messages allows user to create notes and have them centrally stored in POS for easy follow up.
- Quick Pick Item Selection: Many customers have items that cannot be tagged, such as small trinkets, fabric items or a cold soda. Additionally, many retailers also offer services (music class, wine club membership, etc.) that need to be handy to ring up. From the receipt screen you can quickly store and select from up to 12 groups of 12 items each.
