    Integrating QuickBooks Online

    About

    Applies to: ONTRAPORT Plus and above.

    Cloud Cart Connector is a commercial plugin for QuickBooks Online (QBO) that syncs selected purchase and contact information from ONTRAPORT into QBO. The plugin enables you to:

    • Create new customers in QBO when a new Contact purchases in ONTRAPORT
    • Sync current Contact information into QBO Customer database
    • Create invoice payments in QBO from ONTRAPORT orders

    Note: ONTRAPORT does not have a Product SKU field. To work around this you must manually update QBO to map the Product Name to the QBO SKU field. Cloud Cart Connector includes a method to upload a CSV file described at Cloud Cart Connector Support. As you add individual Products they can be mapped manually within QBO following the instructions found in this Mapping Product SKUs article.
