Faster Performance
Eight new reports and various existing reports have been fine-tuned for better performance, including the Count Sheet (30x faster), Tax (11x) and Sales (5.5x). Order Window performance will see improvements of approximately 5 to 10 times faster than earlier versions.

Automatic Printing lets you print receipts and invoices without displaying a print dialog. It also detects the first receipt printer attached to your computer and uses it as the default. Speaking of automatic, cash drawers attached to receipt printers open automatically. Finally, we've added support for logos on all receipt templates.
Edit Existing Product Variations
An oft-requested enhancement: if you use product variations and have always wanted the ability to edit them, now you can.

Easy to Setup
Setting up a point of sale system was never this easy. Simply install Checkout on all your machines throughout your store, turn on Store Sharing in the Manager window, and create either Manager or Employee accounts for your coworkers.
Log in. Done.
Built for Speed
Checkout is optimized for fast searches. So whether your network is wired or wireless, and whether your database is large, extra large, or ridiculously large, when a customer asks you a question about a product or an order, you can answer as quickly as it takes you to type a word or two in the search field.
Real Time for Real
One of your salespeople is on the floor and calls you with an urgent question about an order. Wouldn't it be great if you could help them out without having to walk over? Simply double-click their order on your Mac, and you'll see it as it happens, in real time.
