Checkout 3.0.8 (build 7093) update released

Checkout Heads West

The birthplace of Checkout, as many of you know, is (and always will be) beautiful Amsterdam. But events of the past few months have led us to assemble a new team in a new place. We’ve recently launched Acclivity NYC in Manhattan and we’re decidedly enthusiastic about this new chapter in Checkout’s history. The impact for customers? Initially, very little. You’ll continue to be supported by the same team in our New Jersey-based customer center.  Over time, though, we expect the impact to be significant. We are building a larger team, which will, in turn, deliver a broader, deeper product. More features, faster response times, enhanced stability. 

Did we mention we’re hiring?

Thank you Steve Jobs

Today, we all lost an inspiration whose vision helped shape the way we interact with the world around us. Thank you Steve.

As many of you might know, Mac OS X 10.7, aka Lion, is rumored to be released in the next few weeks.  We’ve been testing Checkout’s Lion compatibility and are aware of some issues that will prevent you from running Checkout on Lion.  

As we’re working on a Lion compatibility update, it is highly recommended that you hold off from upgrading to Lion until this update is available.

When this update is available, you will automatically be notified if you have selected the option to Check for software updates online (found in Manager > General > This Mac tab). If you do not have this option enabled, you can manually check by selecting Check for Updates which is located under the Checkout menu.

Big news from Amsterdam

Read on at The Checkout Blog

Our friends and partners at Sofa have been acquired by Facebook. Yes, that Facebook. It seems Facebook recognizes world-class design when they see it. The Sofa team will be relocating to Silicon Valley in the coming months and working at Facebook HQ full-time.

So what of Checkout and Enstore?

Acclivity and (an affiliate of) Sofa have simultaneously agreed, in principle, to a deal where Acclivity will own, develop and sell both Checkout and Enstore going forward. We’re beyond excited at what the future holds for both products.

In summation, Checkout and Enstore customers won’t notice a difference in the short-term. Acclivity will be working hard on expanding Checkout and Enstore capabilities. The Sofa guys will be friending/unfriending people for the foreseeable future. Let the champagne flow….

How’s your store doing?

Read on at The Checkout Blog

While Checkout helps you keep tabs on your sales, stock, and customers, how is your store really doing?

You have other expenses, such as rent, utilities, payroll, and insurance. Checkout helps you determine how healthy your bottom line really is by exporting General Journal entries to AccountEdge, so that you can run financial reports and get a better understanding of your profitability.

AccountEdge (including Plus and Network Edition) needs to be installed on the Mac that you’re doing the configuration on. This video covers how to configure the export, and how to import the General Journal Entries.
