How can customers pay me easily?
The Challenge:
When customers want to pay you — it had better be easy. You don't want to miss out on a single sale because of technology or process issues in accepting payments. You want to be able to ring up sales online and at the store.
The Solution
How Intuit Helped

To help your business run smoothly, Intuit Merchant Services offers a wide range of options for accepting payments, including directly from your computer, web store, or even over the phone.

QuickBooks Point of Sale Software lets you spend less time on busy work and more time on growing your business. Run your store more efficiently with complete systems to ring up sales, automatically track inventory and help you to make better business decisions.

"The seamless integration of the merchant service with QuickBooks is extremely convenient. There is no additional data entry for credit card charges." — Jean-Luc.

How do I hire and retain employees?
