...

In this section, you'll configure how customers are created and matched during the order import:

Import as Customer

Select this only if you wish to have all the orders imported from UltraCart assigned to a single customer record.
This is typically used to assigned the imported customers as "UltraCart Customers" or "Web Orders", or something similar.

Info

PLEASE NOTE: Configuring the 'Import as Customer' will override the other "matching" settings. If you wish to have the customers imported to their own customer record, please leave this drop-down menu unconfigured (the blank option in the drop-down list is selected.


Orders

This section controls how Invoices and Sales Receipts are created in your QBO account.  There is a setting for each type of account document and then a shared section that applies to both document types.  By default orders that use the purchase order payment method will import as invoices and all other orders will import as sales receipts.

...

In the final section of the page, orders queued for import as shown.  If there are errors they will display on this page.  Orders that have orders automatically retry every 24 hours, but you are allowed to trigger an immediate retry by clicking a button on this list.

Configuring Payment Methods

If you print QuickBooks deposit slips for recording bank deposits, correctly identifying the payment method is imperative.

To add payment methods to your Quickbooks Online configuration, log into your Quickbooks Online account, then:

  1. Click the Gear Icon 
  2. Click All Lists
  3. Select Payment Methods
  4. Add, Edit or Delete by clicking the payment method name
  5. Make sure to check mark the credit card box if you are adding a credit card (this is how you will add customer’s credit card details)
    *You may want to add each separate credit card type (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, JCB, Diners Club), otherwise create a 'catch all' payment type for "Credit Card"

Next, log into UltraCart and navigate to the Credit And Debit Card settings:

Main Menu > Configuration > (middle menu) Checkout > Payments > ("Credit and Debit Cards" section) Settings

  1. Enter the payment methods as they appear in QuickBooks Online, into the "Payment method Quickbooks code" field:

  2. Click the 'x' button to exit out of the pop up window.
  3. Click the save button on the payments configuration field.

Item Configuration

When configuring items within QBO, make sure that the UltraCart ItemID is the same as either the QuickBooks Item Name or Item SKU, otherwise the item will not be recognized and the import will fail.

Info
titleQuickbooks Codes do not apply to QBO integration

If you are migrating to QBO from the QB desktop and have previously been using UltraBooks with QB desktop application, please note that the "QuickBooks Codes" you previously configured are not valid with the QBO integration. If you were using the QuickBooks codes for item mapping, you'll need to configure the Ultracart ItemID in either the QBO Item Name or QBO Item SKU. (NOT the UltraCart SKU field, but the QuickBooks Online SKU field.)


Error Queue

The last section is the Error Queue.
