We’re coming from QuickBooks Point of Sale where we were able to designate the specific Income Account to post to in QuickBooks Desktop on a per-item basis. Now, we are attempting to do the same with Shopify to QuickBooks Desktop connection/integration/sync (whatever the correct term is) but find that we can only specify a single income account from QB Desktop globally to post the transactions to. Is there any way to be more specific w/this account mapping, either on a per item, per department, or etc. basis? We are a “charge account only” private/members organization, do all our billing from QuickBooks, and this is historically how we’ve kept track of sales in the past.
Topic summary
A members-only organization is transitioning from QuickBooks Point of Sale to Shopify and encountering limitations with income account mapping in QuickBooks Desktop.
The Problem:
- Previously, they could assign specific income accounts per item in QB Point of Sale
- The Shopify-to-QuickBooks Desktop integration only allows one global income account for all transactions
- They need granular mapping (per item, department, or platform) to maintain their historical sales tracking method
Current Status:
- The original poster is seeking solutions for more specific account mapping options
- A second user has the same issue, specifically trying to map different e-commerce platforms to separate income accounts
- No solutions have been identified yet; the discussion remains open with unanswered questions
I’m curious if you ever found a solution to this issue. We are currently trying to map each e-commerce platform to a different income account in QB Desktop, but it seems impossible since the accounts are item-bound.
Any info would be appreciated.
