Feature differences

There are some differences between the Sync with Square app and the Connect to Square app. Here are some of the key changes to keep in mind:

  • With Sync with Square, invoices were created in QuickBooks with matching payments. With Connect to Square, sales receipts and matching deposits are created instead.
  • Data brought in through Connect to Square can be reviewed before it’s added to the books. If needed, you can Undo added transactions in the Reviewed tab.Follow this link to complete the steps in product Open this link in a new window
  • Fees, sales tax, tips and shipping costs are now automatically mapped to the correct account in your chart of accounts and can all be changed in the App settings.
  • The Connect to Square app automatically imports customer and item details. You can add these details in the For Review tab. Once a customer or item is added, QuickBooks remembers this information for all future transactions.
