Magento and Quickbooks

Many e-commerce merchants use Quickbooks, that an easy enough fact to believe. But how/can Quickbooks be integrated with Magento? Lucky for those curious, someone has already looked into the options for such an intergration.

Blueacorn has a great article listing out the options out there for any merchant looking to integrate their two most powerful tools: Quickbooks and Magento.

My past experiences with enterprise software have proven that integration projects and software can be difficult and riddled with problems. Which is probably why you see such few options available for Magento (also why we don’t develop one ourselves). This has been the number one request from our Magento clients, but again, this is certainly not something unique to Magento, most eCommerce platforms in the small to mid market rely on third party software (like T-hub and Stone Edge have done) to tie onto their software, and usually it is just a matter of time before they do.

The article lists out some options and gives a brief overview of how they work and the author’s thoughts on their functionality. The author also guarantees follow-up information that we’ll be sure to spotlight here for all SimpleHelix customers.
