Integrations DetailReviewed by Peasy Team

Peasy and QuickBooks

If your bookkeeper lives in QuickBooks and your operations team works in Peasy, you don't want to enter data twice. Peasy's QuickBooks Online integration syncs customers, vendors, and invoices between the two systems — so your accounting stays up to date without manual data entry.

Why Connect QuickBooks to Peasy?

QuickBooks is built for accounting: general ledger, tax reporting, bank reconciliation, and financial statements. Peasy is built for operations: inventory, purchasing, production, sales orders, and receiving.

Most small businesses need both. The integration lets each tool do what it's best at while keeping them in sync. Your operations team creates purchase orders, receives deliveries, and fulfills sales orders in Peasy. Your accountant or bookkeeper sees the invoices, bills, and customer records appear in QuickBooks automatically.

What the Integration Does

Customer and Vendor Sync

Customers and vendors sync between Peasy and QuickBooks. Create a new customer in Peasy, and they appear in QuickBooks. Add a vendor in QuickBooks, and they show up in Peasy. This two-way sync means you never need to maintain two separate contact lists.

Invoice Sync

When you create a sales order and generate an invoice in Peasy, that invoice can sync to QuickBooks with the correct line items, amounts, and account mappings. Your bookkeeper sees it in QuickBooks without anyone having to re-enter the details.

Bill Sync

Vendor bills created in Peasy can sync to QuickBooks as well, keeping your accounts payable in sync across both systems.

Account Mapping

During setup, you map your Peasy categories to your QuickBooks chart of accounts. This ensures that every synced transaction lands in the right ledger account — revenue in the right income account, costs in the right expense account. The QuickBooks Setup Wizard walks you through this mapping step by step.

Who This Is For

Businesses that already use QuickBooks for accounting — You don't need to stop using QuickBooks. Connect it to Peasy and let both tools do what they do best.

Growing businesses splitting operations from accounting — As your business grows, you need dedicated tools for inventory and order management. Peasy handles the operations while QuickBooks keeps the books.

Businesses whose bookkeeper works in QuickBooks — Your operations team uses Peasy every day. Your bookkeeper or accountant logs into QuickBooks. The integration keeps them both up to date without anyone switching tools.

How to Get Started

  1. Connect QuickBooks — Authorize Peasy to connect to your QuickBooks Online account. See Connecting QuickBooks.

  2. Run the Setup Wizard — The QuickBooks Setup Wizard walks you through mapping customers, vendors, and accounts between the two systems.

  3. Map your accounts — Tell Peasy which QuickBooks accounts to use for income, expenses, and other transaction types. The wizard guides you through each mapping.

  4. Enable sync — Once mapping is complete, turn on auto-sync so new transactions flow between systems automatically.

What Stays in Each System

Peasy handles: Inventory tracking, purchase orders, receiving, production and work orders, sales order creation and fulfillment, restock alerts, multi-location stock management, and payment collection.

QuickBooks handles: General ledger, chart of accounts, bank reconciliation, tax reporting, payroll, financial statements, and accountant access.

Both systems share: Customer records, vendor records, invoices, and bills — synced automatically so neither side is stale.

Common Questions

Does Peasy replace QuickBooks? No. Peasy handles inventory and operations; QuickBooks handles accounting and bookkeeping. They work together, each doing what it's best at.

What happens if I edit an invoice in QuickBooks after it syncs? Changes in QuickBooks are not synced back to Peasy. The sync flows from Peasy to QuickBooks for invoices and bills. If you need to change an invoice, make the change in Peasy so it stays consistent across both systems.

Can I sync historical data? The integration syncs data going forward from the time you connect. Existing transactions in Peasy before the connection are not automatically backfilled. Contact the Peasy team if you need help with historical data.

Which QuickBooks plans are supported? Peasy integrates with QuickBooks Online (QBO). All QBO plan tiers are supported. QuickBooks Desktop is not supported.

Can I use Peasy without QuickBooks? Yes. The QuickBooks integration is completely optional. Many Peasy customers run their full workflow without an accounting integration and export data manually when needed.
