Square sync to Quickbooks Online

Hello @VLAR56,

Your browsing history can be the reason why you're unable to connect your bank account. Let's perform some browser troubleshooting steps so you can add and connect it successfully.

But first, may I know the name of your bank or the error message prompt? Any details you can share will be appreciated and can help me look for some reports related to this unexpected behavior.

Nevertheless, let's begin by accessing your account in a new incognito or private window of your browser. This way, we can check if this issue is related to your current browser or not. To do so:

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: Command + Option + P

From here, you can log back into your account and connect your bank account. If you can do so without any issues, you can clear your browser's cache so your browser can start from scratch. However, if you still have the same issue, let's switch and use a new browser application.

Lastly, here's an article you can read to learn more about sync with Square integration: Sync with Square - Default Accounts and Names.

If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know in the comment section down below. I'll be always around ready to help.

Hi

My bank is investigating whether they can make the automatic upload available but I know I can manually download the bank transactions.  But my original question was can 'Square Sync' work without a Bank account being connected in Quickbooks online, if so what would the set up be?

Thankyou 

I appreciate you for clarifying your concern above about Square Sync, VLAR56.

Let me share the details about the Square Sync app connection in QuickBooks Online (QBO). This way, you'll be able to set it up correctly and manage your transactions to keep your account updated.

The bank feed connection to Square Sync is disabled for QBO users. However, it'll still work without a bank account being connected to the program.  You'll have to use the Sync with Square app so you can import your transactions. Let's go to the App menu, then find and install the app in QuickBooks.

1. Go to the Apps menu.
2. Select the Find apps tab.
3. Enter Sync with Square.
4. Once you find it, select its tile to see the reviews and pricing.
5. Select Get App Now to start the signup process.
6. Click Install.
7. Authorize QuickBooks to share your data.
8. Configure any sync preferences.
9. Select Save & Sync.

There are default accounts and names that you can use after setting up Sync with Square. To learn more about it, kindly refer to this article: Sync with Square - Default Accounts and Names. It also contains answers to the most commonly asked questions in the FAQs section.

Please let me know if you have other concerns. I'm just around to help.

Hey there, @VLAR56.

If you don't mind my asking, are you located in the United States or the UK? The reason I ask is that I notice you're using the term "chequing". If you're not located in the United States, then this could be the reason that our steps aren't working for you. We have provided the steps for the United States side of things. 

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your response. Please let me know if you have further questions or concerns. You can always reach out to the Community or me anytime you need assistance. 

Hi Tori B

I am in Canada.

Hi there VLAR56, 

I'm with the Canadian QuickBooks team and I'd be happy to provide some further assistance with the issue you're having syncing your Square app to QBO.

I'm not aware of any ongoing issues with Square, or the Sync with Square app. I'd encourage you to reach out to the Sync with Square team for further assistance with this to make sure everything is working as intended on their end. 

The tips suggested by the US team above are correct, and would apply to our troubleshooting here as well. I'd recommend reaching out to our tech support team directly if you're still experiencing issues. 

Additionally, you can post your questions in the Canadian QuickBooks Community for help with your Canadian accounts. 

Cheers!

I called Square at 1-855-809-9000 and was told to call Quickbooks.
