QuickBooks POS
Powerful POS. Smarter retail.
Overview
QuickBooks Point of Sale has traditionally been a desktop-based software that integrates seamlessly with QuickBooks Desktop for accounting. It helps retailers manage sales, inventory, and customer information. However, Intuit is discontinuing QuickBooks Desktop POS and is now recommending Shopify POS as its preferred integrated retail solution for QuickBooks users, highlighting a shift towards cloud-based, omnichannel retail.
