Not user friendly
Not a good experience at all. I ran this system in my shop for a year, it was expensive ($100 more than the system I went back to). I was referred to this system by another quilt shop who absolutley loved it. It was not a good experience for me.
Pros
Their program to enter work orders and remove product from inventory was amazing! I wish they would have this option "sold seperatley"
Cons
Program to run a quilt/fabric shop never worked properly. Was very UN user friendly, I had no control over any aspects of ringing up a sale. Things that were "SOLD" to me never worked properly, when I cancelled my subscription I was told things were not completed as they were supposed to be.

Do Not Recommend
Terrible experience. The onboarding experience was terrible. It felt like they cater more to folks who don't know how to use technology. As an IT professional and website designer, they were too basic, and they struggled to understand basic tech and web dev questions. The website builder is trash, overpriced for what you get, and the onboarding process wastes time.
Pros
I tried hard to dig down deep to find a positive, but I genuinely disliked the whole journey.
Cons
The website builder was terrible. They charged a ton of money to do no website design and then presented a trashy website builder that does not let you edit the style/design of your site.
Reasons for Switching to Rain POS
My mom, who has a technology fear, was pursued by a user who had Rain POS prior.

Very successful at retail and education management
Good. It took longer to get set up than we had hoped, as the integration team was swamped. There customer support is ok, but lengthy.
Pros
I like the integration with My Music Staff. I also like the ease in which we can automate customer payments for services and rentals.
Cons
I do not like that we cannot easily adjust pricing, and have difficulty on supplier invoice tracking with taxes.
