Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with QuickBooks Online?

Yes. QuickBooks Online supports QBO (Web Connect) file import via Banking → Upload from file. The file imports as a bank feed with transaction date, description, and amount pre-populated.

Does this work with QuickBooks Desktop (Pro/Premier/Enterprise)?

Yes. QuickBooks Desktop accepts QBO files via File → Utilities → Import → Web Connect Files. All versions of QuickBooks Desktop support this import method.

Will QuickBooks automatically categorize transactions from the import?

QuickBooks will attempt to match imported transactions to existing rules and payees. New transactions without a match appear in the For Review tab in Banking for manual categorization.

What if I get an error importing the QBO file?

The most common error is a duplicate transaction (already imported). Check that you're not importing a date range you've already imported. If the error persists, try the CSV import option and manually map columns in QuickBooks.
