Using a point-of-sale (POS) system that integrates with your QuickBooks accounting software will help track your finances easily. You’ll save time otherwise spent on entering the same information, such as daily sales figures, in two different systems.
Though many POS systems integrate with QuickBooks, they vary in pricing and features. Therefore, finding the right system for your business means comparing multiple solutions on these factors.
To make your job easier, we’ve put together a list of the best five POS systems (featured alphabetically) that integrate with QuickBooks accounting software. We’ve selected these products from our Retail POS Software FrontRunners report. Read our complete product selection methodology here.
What is QuickBooks, and why do you need QuickBooks POS integration?
QuickBooks is an accounting system that allows you to manage your sales, expenses, and daily transactions. It can be used to generate reports, invoice customers, pay bills, file taxes, and more.
QuickBooks integration with your POS solution will allow you to seamlessly transfer sales data from the POS to QuickBooks. It’ll help eliminate the time-consuming process of manually entering your end-of-day sales data or creating invoices. You can use the saved time to serve your customers better.
