Here is what you need to know if your business uses QuickBooks POS
Intuit announced that QuickBooks Point of Sale Desktop 19.0 is being discontinued and has reached end-of-life. As of February 8, 2023, new customers of QuickBooks point of sale can no longer purchase licenses. Existing QuickBooks Point of Sale users do not need to panic just yet. They can continue to operate as usual, add-on point of sale software licenses, and receive technical support through October 3, 2023. But after that date, users will need to find a new solution for managing sales and inventory.
