   James if you have sata 3 ssd would even be a lot better.
   Not sure from what year your system is but ssd is nice but really faster on sata 3.
   You'll get double the speed compared to for example mini 2010 model with sata 2.

   I have a lot of customers who are very inpatient and are used to take no bill or a quick hand written bill. They are not always keen to wait for me to take 'something out of stock'. But thanks to the new Checkout and super fast hardware I'm fine now, I even print the bills manually ( most customers don't want it) but with the touchscreen its just two taps on the screen.

   thanks again for your advice with this Tom

   I will have a go at the SSD next week and see how that goes. Our shop is more of a convenience store which sounds a bit different to your operation?

   We use AccountEdge for processing the purchase invoices, so when we receive a purchase on Checkout it then gets exported to AccountEdge via the journal export function. The value of the entire order turns up in the shop purchases control account in AccountEdge, which we can then reconcile with the purchase invoice when it arrives.

   If we used the stock adjustment function then *every* individual stock change would turn up in the wastage account in AccountEdge and would be nearly impossible to reconcile with the purchase invoice when it arrives.

   How do you deal with that?

   Cheers

   James

   Just wanted to throw out a request for the Checkout 4 update to the Checkout team... gift certificates! I feel like this is a no brainer purchase for any store & I haven't been able to sell them. I've been trying to figure out a way using Checkout 3.5.7, but I am having no luck. If anyone has mastered the gift card, I'd really appreciate your feedback!

   Thanks!
   Kristen

   There is a hack for gift certificates on Checkout 3.x like this: create
   several products called 'gift certificate', each for a set amount, and
   check 'Needs Serial' in the General tab on Product Manager. Go to Label
   Printing in the Window menu (⇧ + cmd + L) and search for gift certificate,
   add the gift certificate products to the Print Labels window and print them
   onto sticky labels, then write a different serial number under each one and
   stick them onto gift cards. When sold, add the unique serial number into
   the product before invoicing. When cashed in, the person on the sales desk
   searches for the serial number in paid invoices to check it is from a valid
   sale and not a duplicate, scans the barcode into a sale, and types in the
   serial number. The key is to set the gift certificate product up as a
   *negative* amount of money *after printing the barcode* so it is deducted
   from the total when redeemed and you don't have to change the amount on the
   invoice.

   If you don't want to have to type in the serial number then just include a
   unique serial number in the description, e.g., "£50 Gift Certificate
   xtql9p", and this barcode can be used to scan for the original sale in paid
   invoices, but you can only make one product per certificate, which should
   be deleted after it has been redeemed.

   Have you ever thought about selling Checkout to another company who would be interested in continuing the software and bringing out new version. I have been using it for four years without the version 3. No major update since I have been using it.
   I really like the software and requested and asked a lot about things that would be great for the future but there was no change.
   I guess you are working on projects that are more important for you but the software is good, great Design and usability but since the sofa guys left nothing happend anymore. It could get extended and get new features all the time. I even would be willing to pay more if there would be more features.
   Import and Export of order from CSV or other eCommerce Software would be something. Finance part where you can account incoming bills. The reports could be modified so a normal person can create own reports.
   And a lot more.

   So perhaps you can find someone who is willing to buy the software so it can get updated and remastered to new version with perhaps extensions you can buy or some different way.
