QuickBooks Integration

Maximize efficiency with this easy-to-manage payment gateway amenity. 

Authorize.net offers a free Sync for QuickBooks feature that facilitates an automatic import of transaction data directly into an existing QuickBooks account. So when an Authorize.net transaction—whether it’s a payment, return, chargeback, etc.—settles, the information reflects in the accounting system in real time.

QuickBooks also does more than just meet a business’s accounting needs:

• Manages customer, vendor and employee data
• Automates receipt and shipping notifications
• Creates purchase orders
• Tracks inventory
• Offers industry-specific features depending on your business type
• Provides business activity snapshots
• Supports a paperless environment
• Manages payroll and timesheets
• Extremely user-friendly

QuickBooks offers a Desktop and Online version. QuickBooks Online is cloud-based and can be accessed by multiple users from any location with internet, whereas the Desktop version is suitable for a one-location operation. There are also three tiers of monthly service plans that vary in price depending on your needs. Free trials are available, and offer the best way to see if this popular accounting platform is right for your business.

Linking Authorize.net with QuickBooks allows your expense and income tracking to happen accurately in real time. The setup is quick, user-friendly and requires one-time configuration:
