Why teams connect Insightly and QuickBooks

Sync customers, invoices, and payment status between QuickBooks and Insightly in real time, so sales sees the money and finance sees the relationship.

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Insightly knows the relationship: who the contacts are and what is in motion with the account. QuickBooks knows the money: what was invoiced, what was paid, what is overdue. When the two are connected only by exports, each side works partly blind.

Stacksync links Invoices, Payments, Bills, Vendors in QuickBooks to Notes, Products, Custom Fields, Contacts in Insightly with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, updated billing details, invoice status, and payment activity move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. The result is one version of each customer, visible from both sides.

Common use cases

  • Push bills and vendor data from procurement systems into QuickBooks for AP processing.
  • Reconcile payment-processor payouts against QuickBooks transactions.
  • Deduplicate and align customer records between Insightly and an ERP or invoicing system
  • Two-way sync of Insightly contacts and organizations with a marketing automation platform

Billing detail changes flow back

When a contact or address is corrected in Insightly, QuickBooks gets the update before the next invoice goes out.

Collections with context

Finance sees the account owner and relationship history from Insightly when chasing a balance, and sales sees that the chase is happening.

Where Insightly tracks deals: closed-won creates the finance record

A won opportunity creates or updates the customer in QuickBooks with the right billing details, so invoicing starts without re-keying.
