This article provides a brief background about QuickBooks Online (QBO). This also explains the rationale behind the integration, the requirements of the integration, and the data flow of the integration. To learn how to integrate, please visit the How to Integrate QuickBooks Online and Order Manager article. 

Understanding QuickBooks Online

QuickBooks Online is a bookkeeping software intended for small businesses; it is a product of Intuit, a software company that creates financial software. Moreover, QuickBooks Online is standard bookkeeping software used by Extensiv customers. QBO generally helps our customers manage and generate their financial statements.

Integration of Quickbooks Online and Order Manager is available to all users of Order Manager.

Understanding the integration of QBO and OM

The automation of sales data drives the integration of QuickBooks Online and Order Manager (OM). Through the integration, you will no longer create manual exports from your OM to QBO; this enables you to minimize any human error in your internal processes. Moreover, the integration also helps you to create and manage your accounting statements efficiently.

The data flow from Order Manager to QuickBooks Online happens in a timely manner through the integration. The integration observes a one-way sync of data from OM to QBO; it means QBO cannot send any data to OM. You can also choose the data you can go through from OM to QBO. Moreover, Extensiv recommends turning on Products and Vendors.
