Connect QuickBooks Online
Prerequisites
Have an active Spacebring subscription with an Essential or higher plan and QuickBooks Online account to integrate it with Spacebring.
Create the relevant service in your QuickBooks Online account to which invoices and invoice payments from Spacebring should synchronize.
Set a tax in your QuickBooks account:
For US-based accounts: Set the tax regardless of the tax rate in Spacebring. The exact tax rate is not passed to QBO from Spacebring and is defined by your QBO settings.
For non-US-based accounts: Set the tax rate to match the one you have in your location. Manage taxes
Invoices and transactions with a tax rate that does not match the tax set in your QuickBooks account will not synchronize for non-US-based accounts.
To connect the QuickBooks Online integration, open Spacebring and do the following:
Go to the Integrations page by pressing the menu (...) next to the location's name.
Find QuickBooks Online integration page > press
Connect.Log in to your Intuit account and connect the company where to sync invoices and transactions.
Select the same QuickBooks Online organization in the "Organization" dropdown.
Select the service in your QuickBooks Online account to which invoices and invoice payments from Spacebring should synchronize in the "Service" dropdown.
Transactions synchronize to the "Sales" service by default.
If no service is selected in the "Service" dropdown, the integration connection is incomplete and invoices and invoice payments will not synchronize to QuickBooks Online.
5. Keep "Invoices" and "Transactions" switches on to synchronize both invoices and transactions from Spacebring to QuickBooks.
How invoices are synced to QuickBooks Online
The integration automatically and in real time sends all newly issued invoices to QuickBooks Online with the relevant invoice status.
If the invoice status changes in Spacebring, it's also automatically reflected in QuickBooks Online.
Once the invoice status changes to "paid", a corresponding payment for it is created.
If the invoice is marked as "Paid Externally", it's synced to QuickBooks Online and reflects a "Paid" status.
