QuickBooks integration: sales into the books, untyped

A QuickBooks integration posts your sales, invoices and payments into QuickBooks from the systems where they happen, so nobody types an order into the books a second time.

We connect QuickBooks to Shopify, WooCommerce, eBay, Etsy, CRMs and payment providers, mapped to the accounts your accountant already uses.

Each sale is posted once, to the right account, and the invoice number goes back to the order it came from.

What a QuickBooks integration does

Sales into the books

Each paid order becomes an invoice or a sales receipt, with the items, the tax and the customer filled in.

Payments matched

A payment from the card provider or the bank is recorded against the invoice it pays, so the open list stays true.

Customers in step

A new customer in the shop or the CRM appears in QuickBooks once, not three times under three spellings.

Your accountant’s map

Which account, which item and which tax line each kind of sale goes to, agreed with your accountant before anything is posted.

How we run our own books

Our own order desk does the same job for a Hungarian business: it issues each invoice with the VAT line worked out per buyer, sorts the bank lines by rules, matches paid bills and closes them, and builds the month-end pack for the accountant.

Outgoing payments are only ever drafts until someone approves them. How that order desk works

Invent invoices screen with a VAT choice and an invoice preview (example data)
The invoice queue on our own order desk: the tax line chosen per buyer and a preview before the invoice is issued.
Invent month-close screen with a checklist (example data)
Month-end close: a checklist of what is done and what is left before the pack goes to the accountant.

Questions

What can be connected to QuickBooks?

Your shop and marketplaces (Shopify, WooCommerce, eBay, Etsy), your CRM, your payment provider and your own order or job system. Orders become invoices or sales receipts, payments are recorded against them, and customers stay in step.

Is the QuickBooks app marketplace enough?

Often it is, and we will say so on the call. A custom integration pays when the entry needs your own rules (which account, which class, which tax line), when one order touches several systems, or when the app you need does not exist.

Will my accountant still recognize the books?

That is the first thing we agree. We map each kind of sale to the accounts and items your accountant already uses, and nothing is posted until a test month matches what they would have entered by hand.

Can Stripe or PayPal payments go into QuickBooks?

Yes. Each payment is recorded against the invoice it pays, with the provider’s fee booked where your accountant wants it. See payment integration.

Does it post everything automatically?

It can. In our own systems a person approves invoices and outgoing payments before they go out; we suggest the same until the numbers have matched for a few weeks.

What does it cost?

We price it on a call, per milestone, after reading the systems on both sides. See what custom software costs.
