Why teams connect QuickBooks and Shopify

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

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Shopify 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 Customers, Invoices, Payments, Bills in QuickBooks to ProductMedias, ProductVariants, Orders, Customers in Shopify 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

  • Mirror the chart of accounts and journal entries into a warehouse for consolidated financial reporting.
  • Create QuickBooks invoices automatically from closed-won deals or e-commerce orders.
  • Mirror the product catalog from a PIM or database into Shopify products, variants, and metafields.
  • Sync orders, customers, and inventory into Postgres for operational reporting across stores.

Billing detail changes flow back

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

Collections with context

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

Where Shopify 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.
