QuickBooks WooCommerce Integration / eCommerce Shopping Cart Integration for QuickBooks, Sage 50

CartSpan writes: OK, so you’ve setup your ‘free’ WooCommerce shop in record time within your WordPress environment and are quickly overwhelmed by orders; a business condition that creates both stress and excitement at the same time. 

 

While there are low-cost (and some free) tools that can be used to simply ‘get your orders into the accounting system’, a well-designed (and supported) commercial integration can actually help you sell more product and pay for itself in an extremely short period of time.

This has less to do with the order import side of the equation than with the practice of effective stock management between systems. If you have a significant number of products to manage and don’t update availability in WooCommerce in a timely manner, you are losing significant income opportunities.

Hard Benefits: CartSpan provides a deep integration with both QuickBooks and Sage 50 to provide you with near real-time updates of product availability in your store. So, as soon as you receive stock into the accounting system or accept a new order over the phone, CartSpan sees the new inventory and will pushes an updated quantity-available to WooCommerce. If you are a manufacturer, CartSpan offers a stock management feature that projects how many of an assembled item you can offer based upon supporting stock. See our blog post, Inventory Management for Assembled Product Types, for details on how this feature can increase your earnings.

Here is how CartSpan customer Elizabeth Dirks, Operations Manager of Hair & Compounds Inc., describes their WooCommerce integration experience:

“When roughing out the decision to redesign our website and online store, our customer service people had one request – Sage 50 integration! With some research we found CartSpan was one of the only solutions that had exactly the functionality we required. All we needed was inventory updates and order downloading. What made our simple requirements more complicated is that our inventory has hundreds of variations under a few master stock items. CartSpan’s configuration features allows us to easily handle inventory variations and keep each sub-stock item updated with latest prices and stock quantity. It also made what seemed a huge and daunting task of integrating with our established system very simple and quite easy.”

“CartSpan is a fantastic product for anyone in need of Sage 50 integration (or QuickBooks) with their online store and worth every penny to invest in this product.”

Soft Benefits: Don’t discount the ‘softer’ side of how a good integration can maximize the use your accounting system. If you are constantly changing, adjusting, or ‘tweaking’ your imports to reflect how you do business, you might ask yourself, Am I really saving that much time? CartSpan is built for QuickBooks and Sage 50 and maximizes integration opportunities to each. These finer points of integration can be found on our Product Features page for order imports as well as for inventory updates.

To ‘piggy-back’ on a well-known phrase, “CartSpan integrates your WooCommerce with QuickBooks…beautifully.”
