QuickBooks-Approved retail hardware comes with a one (1) year Hardware Component Manufacturers Limited Warranty, an Intuit Limited Warranty of Interoperability and a sixty (60) Day Money Back Satisfaction Limited Warranty. Click here for the full warranty. Due to hardware upgrades, actual components may differ slightly in appearance.

Intuit works closely with the manufacturers of hardware sold by Intuit for use with Point of Sale to ensure these devices work together. Hardware such as PIN Pads and Physical Inventory Scanners purchased from other sources may not have the required programming to work with Retail Solutions software and/or Intuit QuickBooks Point of Sale Merchant Service. Intuit does not provide hardware programming, and does not guarantee hardware purchased elsewhere will work with Intuit software and services.

* To use credit card reader or PIN pad with integrated card swipe, the following is required: (1) Intuit QuickBooks Point of Sale Merchant Service account, obtainable through 2nd Site Business Solutions (2) the most current or two years previous Point of Sale software, (3) internet access or modem and phone line (sold separately), and (4) printer (sold separately). POS Merchant Service is subject to application approval, fees and additional terms and conditions. Contact K.C. at 2nd Site for current information. 503-246-7776 2nd-Site@2nd-Site.com

Compatible Hardware not sold by Intuit

Many people ask me if they can just use the hardware they already have. The answer is, maybe. It your current hardware is on the compatible hardware list, you’ll probably be just fine. However, you may never use merchant service related hardware purchased elsewhere for integration with QuickBooks Point of Sale. QuickBooks Point of Sale software only integrates with Intuit’s own merchant service solutions, which only works with the hardware they sell, and they do not offer programming services to convert your current hardware. The only exception is if you purchased used equipment from someone who purchased it from Intuit, then it’s already programmed to be compatible with their merchant services and Point of Sale. Warning: some equipment may be obsolete and no longer work with newer versions of POS.

HP Computers
Intuit and Hewlett Packard have teamed up to provide you with computers for your POS system as a matter of convenience for you. However, most other computers are perfectly fine to use with your Point of Sale software, so feel free to shop locally. Be sure, however, that your POS computers meet all of the minimum requirements for running QuickBooks Point of Sale.

I strongly recommend exceeding the 2 GB RAM minimum requirement by increasing it to at least 4 GB on the POS server workstation, even in a standalone configuration. Maximize the number of USB ports. You will need one for each of the following that you choose to use: mouse/keyboard, credit card reader, pin pad, bar code scanner, receipt printer, report printer, tag printer (aka Zebra printer), pole display, physical inventory scanner, flash drive or external backup drive. Don’t plan on putting any of the printers, card reader, pin pad, or physical inventory scanner on a USB hub. The other peripherals work fine on a USB hub.
