Solving Showrooming with QuickBooks Point of Sale

In the age of smart phones with cameras shoppers can visit a store and use readily available apps to scan the barcode on a product and price shop on the internet or at other brick and mortar stores. This is called showrooming. The practice has become a serious financial threat to brick-and-mortar stores, especially the small retailer.
