How can QuickBooks integrate with ServiceMonster?

ServiceMonster provides two QuickBooks integration methods to choose from:

Method 1: Use of the Web Connector utility which runs on your QuickBooks computer and communicates directly with ServiceMonster to export invoices and payments from ServiceMonster into your QuickBooks company file.

Method 2: Creation of an .IIF export file which contains your latest ServiceMonster invoices and payments that can be downloaded and imported into QuickBooks using QuickBooks’s .IIF file importer.

    Hi Andy,
    I just signed up for Quickbooks online. Can we export information to QB online now?
    Thanks,

    I was thinking when it mentioned quick book integration that it went back and fourth.. but it look like it only goes one way?

      Correct- If you are using QB Online we do an initial import from your QB’s to ServiceMonster. After that transfer occurs then all of your AR would be done in SM and the one way sync would post the accounts, invoices and payments to your Quickbooks.
