* They sync when the QB Web Connector automatically runs or when you manually run it.
** Any new customers or updates made to a customer will not sync until there is an invoice of theirs to sync. If you simply want to update a customer without creating an invoice, you will need to make the changes yourself in both Syncro and QB.
*** Invoices with refunds need to be adjusted manually in QB.

This is not a two-way sync. The only exception is payments in QuickBooks Online—the setting must be checked to enable.

All Sync features refer to syncing from Syncro to QuickBooks unless otherwise noted.

 

Get Started

Important: Have your QB account properly configured by a bookkeeper/accountant before syncing with Syncro. Make sure there are no errors or bad/incomplete data. This includes things like:

  • Chart of accounts set up so we can link invoices to accounts
  • Payment methods
  • Tax Rates
  • Customer list and product list cleaned up and organized

Not having QB properly configured before syncing will cause long term issues that can be difficult to reconcile. If you have any errors, or any bad/incomplete data in QB, resolve them before setting up the sync. If you are setting up your QB account for the first time, have a bookkeeper/accountant set it up before syncing with Syncro. If you do have any errors in QB, contact Intuit to resolve them before syncing with Syncro.

After confirming that your QB account is properly set up and working smoothly:
