Can I synch my Square items with Quickbooks when a single item exists with multiple variants? I need to track the inventory quantity and cost separately for each variant.

Hi there, nrwoodward.

Currently, the option to import Square items is unavailable in QuickBooks Online. The Sync with Square app can only import your sales, fees, refunds, tips, and transfers. After you connect, transactions are automatically imported on a nightly basis. Depending on the number of transactions, it might take about 24 hours to get all of your sales transactions. 

As a workaround, we can setup an identical item by manually uploading your Sqaure item list as a CSV file. Additionally, please make sure that item name and SKU matches with what you have in Square.

Here's how to do it:

1. Click the Gear icon, then choose Import Data.
2. Select Products and Services.
3. On the Import products and services page, click Browse.
4. Find and select your Excel file.
5. Click Open, then Next.
6. Map your information. Your Field represents the headers on your spreadsheet.
7. From each drop-down menu , select the one that matches a field in QuickBooks Online.
8. Click Next, then choose Overwrite all values for each product or service with the same name. 
9. Select Import to complete the process.

Do you have any other questions in mind? Feel free to leave them below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Why does it only say SQUARE ITEM within App Settings Square on QBO?  I have created 5,000 Item Names within Square that match my QBO Item Names.  Note: I am not using "SKU" in QBO, just "Item Name" on my invoices within QBO.  And I use the same exact Item Name in Square.
