How Do I Connect QuickBooks to Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:05 pm

As a business owner, you’re always looking for ways to streamline your operation and save time. QuickBooks is one of the most popular accounting software programs available, and connecting it to your Shopify account can help you save a lot of time on data entry. In this article, we’ll show you how to connect QuickBooks to Shopify in just a few simple steps.

First, you’ll need to log in to your QuickBooks account and go to the ‘Settings’ menu. From there, select ‘Integrations.’

QuickBooks will then provide you with a list of compatible programs that you can connect to. Select ‘Shopify’ from this list and then click ‘Connect.’

PRO TIP: While QuickBooks and Shopify can be connected to streamline your business accounting, there are a few things to be aware of before doing so. First, ensure that you are using compatible versions of QuickBooks and Shopify – older versions may not be able to connect. Secondly, make sure that you have a solid understanding of both accounting and eCommerce platforms before connecting them, as this could cause problems down the line if not done correctly. Finally, always backup your data before making any changes or connections, in case something goes wrong.

You’ll be taken to a new page where you’ll need to enter your Shopify store’s URL. Once you’ve entered this information, click ‘Allow.’ QuickBooks will then generate a unique API key for your store which you’ll need to copy and paste into the appropriate field in your Shopify account.

To do this, log in to your Shopify account and go to ‘Settings.’ From there, select ‘Payment Providers’ and scroll down to the ‘Other Payment Methods’ section. Paste your API key into the ‘API Key’ field and click ‘Save.’

That’s all there is to it! Once you’ve completed these steps, QuickBooks will automatically pull in your Shopify data each time you run an update. This can save you a lot of time on data entry and help keep your accounting records more accurate.
