Quickbooks POS isn ' t that great , I ' d recommend giving PCAmerica ' s Cash Register Express a look , its got quite a bit of hardware support scalescanners , coin dispensers , receipt printers , etc , but like the rest of the software available at the $ 500 price point , you get what you pay for . Microsoft actually ditched this whole industry since it was a loss leader , and PCAmerica had to sell itself to Heartland to be able to afford the fees for PCI compliance $ 40 k a year out the gate , then a few hundred thousand for each CC processing platform . Ultimately , we stopped doing low end installs and use much higher end software now since you get what you pay for with lowend options . Who knows if Quickbooks will still be in the game pulling a Microsoft , or whether Square will go belly up seeing as they have yet to turn a profit , or if PCAmerica will be owned by a whole new outfit who axes most of their VARs surprisingly , we didn ' t get axed this time ! .
