August 19th QBTalks Looks at Popular Point-of-Sale Systems

Written by William Murphy | Aug 14, 2026, 4:45:00 AM

Lisa Burnett, Insightful Accountant’s 2026 Top Niche Practice ProAdvisor will be joining Murph as they explore seven Point-of-sale platforms, many of which also do ‘eCommerce’.

These POS platforms are the most likely you as a ProAdvisor will run into with retail clients. For each of these seven, listed below, they will break down who it’s really built for and how it talks to QuickBooks because the integration functionality is where a log of clients get tripped up.

The seven Point-of-sale Systems being compared and contrasted are:

 
    • Shopify

    • Square

    • Clover

    • Toast

    • Lightspeed

    • Revel

    • Register by Ability Business

One of the key aspects of Lisa’s presentation will be around understanding the right questions to ask retail clients to point them toward the proper POS solution for their business. You really don’t want to miss this opportunity to build your confidence in working with retail clients who need ‘system advisory’ for their Point-of-sale requirements.
