QuickBooksWhat a Etsy QuickBooks integration actually moves
One row per job, based on how QuickSync connects to Etsy and QuickBooks today. Where a side does not allow something, the cell says so.
| What | Etsy | QuickBooks |
|---|---|---|
| Stock count | Both ways | Both ways, as a book figure |
| New listings | We can create and update | Not a storefront, so no listings |
| Prices | Sent, with your rule applied | Written to the item |
| Orders in | Into QuickSync | Invoices go in, nothing comes back |
| Tracking back | Sent to the order | Not applicable |
| Photos and options | Etsy allows two option types | Not a storefront, so no photos |
| How fast we update it | Under a second | Under a second |
| How fast it tells us | Stock every two minutes, orders every five | Not applicable: QuickBooks is your books, not a shop |
Running Etsy alone versus with QuickBooks
Every Etsy sale that is not written into QuickBooks is a stock figure and an invoice someone has to type twice — and a wrong stock figure is how you oversell. Connecting them removes that second pass.
| Two shops, run by hand | Two shops, connected |
|---|---|
| The last one sells in both shops within the same hour | Whichever shop sells it, the other one drops to match |
| Typing the same stock numbers into Etsy and QuickBooks each morning | One count, sent to both, without anyone opening a spreadsheet |
| Changing a price means editing the same product twice | Change it once and each shop gets the price you set for it |
| Orders in two dashboards, matched up by hand at the end of the week | Every order already matched to the right product |
| A refund leaves your numbers wrong until someone notices | A refund puts the stock back and tells both shops |
| Guessing how stale each shop’s number is | A sale on Etsy is found within five minutes and QuickBooks is corrected straight after |
One Etsy order, start to finish
Real timings, including the wait.
Etsy · order #447114:02:11Etsy41sourceQuickBooks41+0.3sCorrecting QuickBooks takes under a second once we have the sale. The order is in your packing list with the Etsy order number on it, and a tracking number added later goes back to Etsy on its own.
There is no other direction: nothing is ever bought in QuickBooks, so it only ever receives.
Connecting Etsy and QuickBooks takes about ten minutes
Most of that is us matching your catalogues. The two connections themselves are a login each.
Connect Etsy
You approve QuickSync from your Etsy account for the shop you want connected.
Connect QuickBooks
You sign in to Intuit and pick the company file. QuickSync writes to that company and nothing else.
Let it match your products
We line the two catalogues up by SKU, then by title, and hand you a short list of anything we could not match. You decide what happens to those.
Watch, then switch it on
Leave it watching for a few days and check the numbers agree. When you are happy, let it start making changes, one shop at a time.
The limits: know them before you connect
Every Etsy QuickBooks integration has constraints. These are the ones that apply here.
Etsy waits; QuickBooks does not
A QuickBooks sale reaches Etsy in under a second. An Etsy sale reaches QuickBooks on our next look, which is within five minutes. Hold back a little safety stock and that window stops mattering.
Two option types on Etsy
Etsy allows two kinds of option per listing, so a product that is size, colour and material elsewhere has to fold down to two. We show you which products are affected before anything is published.
Stock moves when you say so
QuickBooks is not a storefront, so there is no listing to publish. Stock and invoices move once you turn sync on; nothing invents a product page on Etsy.
Two shops fits the smallest plan
Your catalogue size picks the plan, and your plan price covers two connected shops with every shop after that adding it again. Three shops on Lite is $38 a month.
Lite
$19/mo for two shops1,000 items and up to eight connected integrations, with stock matched on both sides automatically. Enough for Etsy and QuickBooks on their own, at $19 a month for the two.
Pro
$29/mo for two shops2,500 items and up to eight connected integrations. Listings and orders sync here as well as stock. Most sellers running two shops properly end up here.
Ultra at $69 and Ultra+ at $99 add larger catalogues, price rules and setup help. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial and no card.
Questions people ask about this pair
How quickly does QuickBooks update after something sells on Etsy?
Within five minutes. Etsy has no way of telling us the moment a sale happens, so we check it on a short timer instead. Once we have the sale, correcting QuickBooks takes under a second. The other direction is much quicker: QuickBooks tells us straight away. If either shop has an outage, we hold the update and retry until it goes through.
Do my Etsy products show up as listings in QuickBooks?
No. QuickBooks is your books, not a storefront, so there is nothing to list. We write the item and the quantity as a bookkeeping figure, and orders arrive as invoices.
Do prices sync from Etsy to QuickBooks?
One way, yes. The price you set on Etsy is written to the matching item in QuickBooks, so the books read what you actually charge. QuickBooks never writes a price back, so that number stays yours to set on Etsy.
Does the tracking number go back to Etsy?
Yes, to Etsy. When you add a tracking number to an order we send it back and the buyer gets the shop’s normal notification. QuickBooks holds the invoice rather than the buyer, so there is nobody there to notify.
Do orders flow both ways with QuickBooks?
No. An Etsy sale becomes an invoice in QuickBooks. Nothing is imported back out of QuickBooks into your shops; it is a one-way accounting sink by design.
What happens if I refund an Etsy order?
The stock goes back on Etsy and the quantity on the books updates with it. Handle the invoice credit in QuickBooks the way you normally would; we keep the quantity right, not your accountant’s credit-note workflow.
Which plan do I need for Etsy and QuickBooks?
Lite covers Etsy and QuickBooks. Lite is $19 a month for two shops and holds 1,000 items, with up to eight connected integrations. You would move up a plan for catalogue size, and your bill goes up by another $19 if you connect a third shop.
