Overview of the QuickBooks Integration

The QuickBooks integration displays the QuickBooks invoices and estimates associated with a lead, person, company, or opportunity in the ‘Related’ section of that record.

Once you have set up the integration, you will be able to access QuickBooks invoices and estimates from both the web and mobile apps.

For each invoice or estimate shown, the following details are displayed:

  • Invoice/Estimate Name/Number

  • Status

  • Issuer

  • Due Date

  • Total Due

  • Balance Due (not shown on Estimates)

From the web app, this is what it will look like on each record:

And here is a close-up, which includes a view of how estimates are displayed as well:

Clicking on the invoice or estimate name will pop up a full view of the selected item. Invoices and estimates are displayed in order of the created date. Below the initial number of invoices and estimates displayed, you can click to expand the list.

The number of invoices and estimates displayed will correspond with the number you choose when setting up the integration.

How the QuickBooks invoices and estimates are linked to Copper records

Invoices and estimates show up on each record based on a unique identifier for that record type.

  • For Lead and Person records, we pull in invoices and estimates associated with the email address on the record.

  • For Company records, we pull in invoices and estimates associated with the email addresses of all people related to that company.

  • For Opportunity records, we pull in invoices and estimates associated with the email addresses of all people related to the opportunity and all people related to the opportunity’s related companies.

Common Questions

Will this integration work with QuickBooks desktop?

No, it will only work with QuickBooks Online.

Can I connect a non-Copper user's QuickBooks account to my Copper account?

Yes, as long as you have their QuickBooks username and password.

Will this integration work if a QuickBooks record has multiple addresses linked to it?

We match records in QuickBooks based on the primary email associated with the Lead or Person Record in Copper. We do not match on the CC and BCC fields.
