QB MAC 2019 desktop help compatibility

Please help.  Using Mac 2019 desktop seems limited with compatibility.  Some websites and merchant accounts offer the option to download invoices estimates etc created in their software system for Quickbooks but not the MAC version.  Not uncommon and why I still have a PC.  So is there any way other than buying the PC version of Quickbooks to get around companies not supporting MAC versions of QB?  MAC versions don’t have same features as PC.  I think I am going to have to purchase the PC version again but wanted to ask the experts.  I use MAC for security and ease of use.  I reluctantly use PC because the business world runs on PC still, and running PC versions on a MAC is a poor ineffective solution. 
Any advice would be helpful.  Thanks

Providing the best experience with the product is what we aim for, 92comets.

 

We recognize each company has unique needs, and I can see how beneficial it is to your business to download invoices estimates from some websites and merchant accounts. You'll want to check out our QuickBooks Apps Store. Then, look for any applications that are compatible with QuickBooks Desktop for Mac that might help you download the data you need from their software system.

 

Just check out this link to route you over: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/app/apps/home/. Then, search for the third-party application in the Find the right apps for your business field.

 

For more details about the integration/compatibility requirements of QuickBooks for Mac, check out this article: System requirements for QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

 

If the option provided is not working on your business needs, you can install QuickBooks for Windows. Then, change your company file from QuickBooks for Mac to Windows. See Convert a QuickBooks for Mac file to QuickBooks for Windows article for the steps and details.

Thank you for the link to third party apps.  I would benefit from the synder app for the paypal and square transactions.


I was unable to find any apps that could be used for ASI/ESP  website.  ASÍ/ESP have built in compatibility with QB PC version so the solution that would work would be to change back from QB for MAC to a QB PC version.  

Thank you for the information,

Thank you for the information.  The Snyder app will definitely be useful to help with PayPal and square.  I will look further into their services.

 

I was not able to see a 3rd Larry app for use with the specific site I was needing ASI/ESP.  The solution will most likely require switching from QB MAC back to a QB PC version .  ASÍ/ESP will as with QB PC version just not MAC.  Thank you for your information.  since they built in a compatible
