FAQ on Zapstitch Quickbooks Integration

What QuickBooks versions are supported?

Our app currently works only with QuickBooks Online. We don’t support any other versions like QuickBooks Desktop, Pro, etc.

Do you support QuickBooks Online version of my country?

Technically, we support all countries. Majority of our happy customers are from USA, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, and India. Few countries could have unique tax and accounting rules that might not be covered in our product.

Can I sync data from QuickBooks Online to Shopify?

Our public release of the product syncs data Only from Shopify to QuickBooks Online. Few customers suggested that we sync Products from QuickBooks to Shopify and sync Sales Orders and Customers from Shopify to QuickBooks. So, we released a beta product with this functionality. Currently, we enable this feature Only upon a request from a customer. No extra charge. Same pricing plans apply here.

Do you sync Inventory between Shopify and QuickBooks Online?

We would love to do this feature. Unfortunately, QuickBooks API does not support it yet. We cannot programmatically update / adjust inventory on QB Online. We are actively working with Intuit on this. As soon as that API is ready, we would support this feature. We *expect* this should be ready by April 1st, 2014.

Do you store any of my store or accounting data?

No. We don’t store your data on our servers. Since we don’t like others seeing or storing our own data, we follow the same with your data. We only use it while we are syncing it.

Can I schedule my syncs?

Our public release of the product does not allow you to schedule your syncs multiple times in a day. But, we enable this feature Only upon a request from a customer. No extra charge. Same pricing plans apply here.

Do you support multiple taxes? What if my shopify orders have different taxes?

We support Multiple Tax rates with a limitation. We look at tax rates in each of your Shopify orders and appropriately map them to a Single Tax Rate or Combined Tax Rate that is defined on your QuickBooks tax settings. But, if you have more than one tax code with the same Tax Rates, this logic might get matched to incorrect Tax Code Labels on your QuickBooks. In these cases, the financial numbers (e.g., Tax Rate 8.12%) would still be correct. It’s only the Tax Code Label (e.g., New York State Tax or Minnesota State Tax) that could be incorrect.

Do you support multiple Shopify stores to sync to 1 QuickBooks account?

Currently, we don’t support this feature as a public release. There is a workaround for this, though. You could create two separate accounts with us and use 1 Shopify Store for each account. But, again - we have not tested this functionality thoroughly. Please treat this is as a “labs” feature that you might want to risk your data with.
