How SynkedUP Payments Sync with QuickBooks Online

SynkedUP Payments allows you to handle your entire invoicing process inside SynkedUP—while automatically syncing all accounting data to QuickBooks Online for accurate financial reporting.

This means you can:

  • Create invoices

  • Send invoices

  • Collect payments

  • Mark invoices as paid

All without ever leaving SynkedUP.

Meanwhile, QuickBooks Online captures the necessary accounting information behind the scenes for:

  • Profit & Loss reporting

  • Revenue tracking

  • Cost code allocation

  • Tax reporting


How the Sync Works

When you create and send an invoice in SynkedUP, the system automatically shares that information with QuickBooks Online.

Here’s what happens step by step:

1. Invoice Created in SynkedUP

For example, you may have:

  • An install job

  • Multiple work areas

  • Multiple cost codes

You create an invoice in SynkedUP that reflects those work areas and cost codes.

2. Invoice Sent and Paid

Once:

  • The invoice is sent to the customer

  • The customer pays the invoice

SynkedUP marks the invoice as paid and the transaction is complete within SynkedUP.

You’ll see confirmation that the invoice has been sent to QuickBooks.


What Happens in QuickBooks Online

When the invoice is created in SynkedUP:

  • A duplicate invoice is automatically created in QuickBooks Online.

  • The invoice includes a memo that states:
    “Invoice managed by SynkedUP — do not pay directly.”

This QuickBooks invoice serves as an accounting record only. Customers should always pay through SynkedUP, not directly through QuickBooks.

Important Details of the Synced Invoice

The QuickBooks invoice includes:

  • The same invoice amounts

  • Linked cost codes tied to services

  • The SynkedUP payment ID

  • Proper revenue allocation

This ensures:

  • Revenue is assigned correctly to the appropriate services

  • Cost codes are tracked properly

  • Financial reporting remains accurate

  • Your Profit & Loss statement reflects the correct data

Once payment is completed in SynkedUP, the transaction is reflected accordingly in QuickBooks.


Why This Matters

With SynkedUP Payments and QuickBooks Online connected:

  • You manage operations and invoicing entirely inside SynkedUP.

  • QuickBooks handles accounting automatically in the background.

  • There’s no need to recreate invoices manually in QuickBooks.

  • Your financial reporting stays accurate without duplicate data entry.

This integration allows you to streamline your workflow while maintaining clean and accurate accounting records.
