Question

cannot connect 3rd party apps

HI,

 

I am just starting to use quickbooks this week.  I am using the web versions rather than downloading a program on a single computer.

 

I've tried on multiple computers, in Chrome, Firefox and Edge to connect Square and Etsy to my quickbooks.  They both end up saying "there was a problem connecting. Go back and try again."

 

How can I get them connected so I don't have to manually enter every sale?

 

Thanks!

Glad to know you're using QuickBooks Online as your business partner, @bstraub. I'm here to share some information about connecting Square and Etsy into QuickBooks Online.

 

I understand the urgency of resolving this issue. I also recognize the importance of bank feeds in order to efficiently manage our bank transactions. With that, I'd like to let you know that we have an open investigation into this matter.

 

While we don't have a specific date for when the resolution will be available, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Online Support. This way, you’ll be added to the list of users who are affected. Just make sure to check our support hours so you can contact us at a time convenient to you.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Help (?).
  2. Select either Assistant or Search.
  3. Choose a way to contact with us: Start a chat or Get a callback.
     

Please know that our engineering team is already working on a solution to the error you're experiencing. Also, updates will be sent to you via email regarding the progress of the investigation. In this case, your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.

 

At this time, you'll want to consider manually uploading your transactions to QuickBooks Online. That said, you'll need to format them into CSV files. Then, categorize and match them.

 

Once everything is good, you can click this link to reconcile your accounts in QuickBooks. This will allow us to make sure that our books are balanced. 

 

You can also view this article to learn how to handle bank errors. This includes the steps you can take to fix the issue. 

 

Please let me know how this goes. I’ll be here to lend a hand if you need more help connecting 3rd party apps with QuickBooks. It'll be my pleasure to assist you.

Consider having a 3rd party app for the time being to reconcile transactions from your Square and Etsy accounts and avoid any duplications.
