Why do we need to connect Square to QuickBooks?

QuickBooks is the universally adored accounting software across the globe. It is the king of accounting software. Square helps you receive money and it acts as a great payment gateway.

The necessities are ready but the game won't start unless someone pushes it on. Even though you have QuickBooks and Square installed, you need to enter the transaction details of Square into QuickBooks for your accounting to get started. That’s exactly where you are going to need PayTraQer. 

Perks of automation using PayTraQer

There are a lot of challenges to face during manual keying. A person can enter up to only 10,000 to 15,000 keystrokes per hour even though he is a specialist. So for 300 transactions to be completed, it will take 15 to 20 hours of typing. More than that, there will be errors while typing which will turn up a huge headache in the end. Though one might enter the transactions carefully and with the utmost care, the average efficiency in manual data entries is 96%. Some more efforts could be put in but the efficiency in manual keying can never reach 100% all the time. The reconciliation process will not go smooth provided that the report has errors in places that you couldn’t find.  

Automation serves as a solution to all these errors and discomforts as it will sync Square with QuickBooks Online automatically with zero error.

Types of Sync Available

Syncing could be done in two different ways and you can choose the one more convenient to you.  

First, let us discuss the most common way of syncing which is automatic sync. As the name suggests, all the Square transactions will be automatically synced into QuickBooks. When this setting is turned on, you don’t have to do anything. But for PayTraQer to automatically sync your transactions, you must turn on the ‘Automatic sync’ in the settings. 

The other option is manual sync which is the default option in PayTraQer. In this, you can view each and every transaction with the attached customer and item details. You need to manually select each transaction that you want to import into QuickBooks, or you can select all. Once the selection is made, click on the ‘Sync to QuickBooks’ button. Then the selected transactions will be synced to your QuickBooks within a flash. This option helps you to only sync data that you find is necessary.

How to undo sync?

As a mistake, we might sync unnecessary data into QuickBooks. But need not worry. We have an undo option in PayTraQer with which you can erase the synced transaction from QuickBooks without leaving any trace at all. 

You can delete the whole transactions by clicking on the ‘Undo All’ button or else remove only the transactions while retaining the item and customer details in QuickBooks by clicking on the ‘Undo Transactions’ button.
