ShopKeep, a retail point-of-sale (POS) system designed by a small retailer for shop owners like himself  that includes a cloud-based management service, has added several new features — including direct integration with the QuickBooks accounting application.

The new service, made possible through a partnership with Retail Intel, allows stores to import up-to-data store data automatically, which saves on journal entries. The cost of doing this will be based on how many store locations a retailers is managing.

Other new features include:

• Up to 3,000 customizable buttons on the register interface
• A faster new printing feature
• The ability to print tickets to multiple stations in quick-serve restaurants (like the kitchen and bar); conversely, retailers with small stores or spaces (like food trucks) can print both receipts and order tickets to the same printer
• Updates reporting
• A facility for making it simpler to handle merchandise returns
