We have been using Checkout since version 1 first came on the scene, and over time we have noticed more and more issues that may render this program absolutely useless.

Despite the thousands of bugs in the system our largest problem has been with MYOB’s support program. We signed up for a 1 year full support plan at $31.79 a month. After about 6 month’s we started having serious issues with version 3.0 (while ringing up orders the program would crash completely and remain inoperable) and contacted support. After 2 weeks with all our phone calls and emails being ignored and unanswered we finally got someone to talk to us. Unfortunately it took them another week and a half to even try and fix the issue, and at which time they informed me that my credit card number had changed and they would not help till I gave them my new number. I reluctantly gave them my new number and was accidentally charged 5 TIMES! I am still waiting for my refund and a new alternative for our POS system. Avoid Checkout support at ALL COST!
