DO I need to use the web migration to transfer Desktop Pro 2021 to online? I have used the feature in the desktop and each time nothing happens

Yes, you still need to use the migration tool when migrating from QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to QuickBooks Online (QBO), g74v77.

 

First, you must be subscribed to QBO to migrate your data from QBDT. You also have 90 days from the time you create your QBO account to move your data. If you’re unsure how long your company has been set up, sign in to QuickBooks Online.

 

Then, if you're ready to migrate, refer to this article: Move your QuickBooks Desktop file to QuickBooks Online.

 

Please note that If your QuickBooks Desktop version is 2021 or older or you don’t have access to QuickBooks Desktop, you'll have to use the web-based migration tool.

 

You can find additional information about the restrictions on migrating data from  QBDT to QBO in our article titled "Learn How Features and Data Move."

 

I've also provided a comprehensive resource on migrating data from QBDT to QBO that may be helpful as you proceed: Learn about converting from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.

After migrating your data and when you are ready for your QuickBooks Online (QBO) experience, you can try our QuickBooks Live Expert Assisted  team to help you maximize the efficiency of your financial processes by collaborating with them. They are veterans in the field, known for streamlining financial operations and providing insights tailored to your business. One click connects you to a more prosperous financial path.

 

Let me know if you have other questions in mind. I'm always here to help.
