We would like to synchronize the customer databases between Quickbooks Online and Shopify.
When we add a customer to Shopify, we want it to be automatically added to Quickbooks as well. And vice versa - when we add a customer to Quickbooks Online, we want it to be automatically added to Shopify.
Is this possible simply by connecting Shopify to Quickbooks Online? Or is there another way we can do this?
We did not find a solution native to Shopify. So, we ended up signing up for Zapier, the online automation platform.
It allowed us to create automated tasks across a bunch of platforms, with custom triggers.
So, for example, any time someone creates a new customer in either Shopify or QuickBooks, it will automatically copy their information to the other platform.
I’m finding it very useful so far and it has far reaching capabilities. We’ve also used it to create specific notifications when certain online orders are made.
Yeah it can update inventory numbers in Quickbooks when purchases are made.
Here’s a link with a list of all the quickbooks/shopify actions that can be synced with Zapier. So far we’ve had a really positive experience with Zapier and have expanded its functions to other things. Not too expensive either. Starting package is $10 or $20 a month
