Xero to Quickbooks Online migration using Dataswitcher

Has anyone used this successfully? I followed all the directions and ran this over the weekend and am receiving some errors and keep receiving emails to start it again. The latest errors say "Error after conversion, differences found in DS postcheck" even though I don't see any differences as integrations are turned off and no one is allowed in right now. We meet all the criteria as far as I can tell from all of the documentation. I'm just not sure how to resolve this or reach someone to figure out if it can be resolved. Obviously our company is anxious to get things up and running for the new year. Thank you!

DS doesn't offer any support channel and you will only get support form Intuit. Another option, purchase a 3rd party service to convert data from Xero.

The "differences found in DS postcheck" error suggests data inconsistencies during migration. Ensure data accuracy and review Dataswitcher’s post-conversion checklist. If issues persist, contact support. Alternatively, use Skyvia for a simpler, no-code migration from Xero to QuickBooks Online, which might reduce such post-migration discrepancies.
