Hi everyone,
Our new Reckon Cloud POS solution has received an update this morning which is now live. Check out the details of the update below:

INTEGRATING RECKON CLOUD POS WITH QUICKBOOKS ONLINE
You can now integrate your Reckon Cloud POS store with QuickBooks Online and post your receipts to your QuickBooks Online company.

How does it work?
  • Reckon Cloud POS creates an item called "Reckon POS Sales" and all receipts are posted with this item (individual items do not get posted).
  • Items that are used in Reckon Cloud POS will be posted in the "Description" field of the sale item so that its easier to understand the transaction.
  • Reckon Cloud POS will create a Sales Receipt for sales and a Refund Receipt for refunds.
How do I connect Reckon Cloud POS to QuickBooks Online?
  • Go to Management System > PREFERENCES > Accounting Software
  • Expand the Other Integrations option > next to QuickBooks Online, click the toggle to "Yes"

A new tab will now open asking you to enter your QuickBooks Online login credentials. After clicking the Sign In button please wait for the next screen, this page can take 5-10 seconds to load.

If you have multiple companies, you will need to select the appropriate company.

You will then see the below screen which requires you to securely authorise access by selecting the 'Connect' button. This will allow Reckon Cloud POS to access your Company to read & write data eg. invoices, payments, customers etc.

Once the above step is complete you will be redirected to the Reckon Cloud POS accounting software page.
