Thanks John, I’m going to try this. Once you make the connection using Quickbooks Connector, I assume there are some steps you go through to select how items / fields are catagorized in quickbooks? Is there a way to to a test connect, for example to send along a few sales receipts to quickbooks to test that it’s working properly? Does it send a long a sales receipt for each order or does it send one for each day?
Topic summary
Christina seeks a reliable Shopify-to-QuickBooks sync app after experiencing data loss and breakdowns with Bold Apps. She specifically needs payout and tax information without extensive product or shipping details, preferably at a reasonable cost.
Recommended Solutions:
- A2X: Multiple users cite it as the “industry standard” for QuickBooks Online integration, though it requires careful monthly balance sheet reviews and detailed account mapping for payment gateways (PayPal, Meta, Shop Cash, etc.)
- MyWorks: Praised by two users for reliability after the free QuickBooks Connector stopped working; described as simple to set up
- CartSpan: Desktop-based Windows application for QuickBooks Desktop versions that bypasses Web Connector issues; offers features like tax rollback by channel and simplified line-item mapping
- WeIntegrate: New app offering instant, accurate syncing with a 15-day free trial
Common Issues Noted:
- The free QuickBooks Connector appears to be phasing out or experiencing compatibility problems with newer QuickBooks Enterprise versions
- Users report difficulty getting support from both Intuit and Shopify for connector issues
- Manual configuration and ongoing reconciliation remain necessary even with automated solutions
The Shopify App Store lists approximately 15 QuickBooks integration options with generally positive reviews.
