How to Manually Sync Salesforce to QuickBooks Using the Sync Button

Integrating Salesforce with QuickBooks Online (QBO) allows you to manage your financial data directly within your CRM. The Sync Button provides a simple and effective way to manually send Salesforce records to QuickBooks whenever needed. This is especially helpful when you want instant updates or prefer full control over which records get synced.

Why Use the Sync Button?

The manual Sync Button is useful in several scenarios:

• Instant updates: When you want Salesforce changes to appear in QuickBooks right away. 
• No auto-sync enabled: If your org doesn’t use automatic syncing.
  

Manual control: When you want to pick exactly which records are pushed to QuickBooks.

Prerequisites

Before using the Sync Button, make sure:

• Your Salesforce org is connected to QuickBooks Online.
• Object and field mappings are properly configured in the integration settings.
• Salesforce to QB Data sync is available only in the pro version.

Let’s dive into the steps on how to sync Salesforce to QuickBooks using the sync button manually.

Step 1: Set Up Your QuickBooks Company

Step 3: Click the Gear Icon

At the top-right of Salesforce, click Settings → Edit Page to open the Lightning App Builder.
