Push Existing Data (First-Time Setup)
Go to Settings → Integrations → QuickBooks → Sync
- Click Sync Contacts — wait until all contacts show green in Sync Health
- Click Sync Invoices — this pushes all your existing sent invoices
Always sync contacts before invoices. QuickBooks needs the customer to exist before an invoice can be linked to it.
Sync Health
Go to Settings → Integrations → QuickBooks → Sync Health to see if anything failed.
Failed rows are retried automatically up to 3 times. Click Retry on any row to re-queue it immediately.
Common Issues

Payments not syncing Confirm Default Deposit Account is set in Settings.
