QuickBooks Online
Setting up an integration with QuickBooks Online is accessible to admin users through the Integrations tab in the Settings module of Boxstorm. This integration allows accounting transactions to be exported from Boxstorm to QuickBooks Online. When applicable, Boxstorm will export items, customers, vendors, and payment terms.
Important: Inventory within QuickBooks Online will need to be changed to Inactive in order for the integration to work. Boxstorm will send the items over again as Service type items.
This integration is only one-way from Boxstorm to QuickBooks Online. Orders created within QuickBooks Online will not be pushed back to Boxstorm, and inventory quantities from those orders will have to be manually updated within Boxstorm.
The ability to create and send both Purchase Orders and Sales Orders also exists within Boxstorm, and inventory will be adjusted automatically when these orders are fulfilled. In the Settings menu, you can upload your company info and logo to be displayed on those orders as well.
