Frequently Asked Questions

For high-volume stores (50+ orders/day): Use a real-time plugin like MyWorks Sync. For low-volume stores (< 50 orders/day): Use our CSV tool weekly/monthly to avoid subscription fees. For medium volume: Consider a budget plugin like OneSaas or our CSV tool for batch processing.
Yes! Many businesses use a hybrid approach: plugins for current orders (real-time sync), and our CSV tool for monthly reconciliation, bulk validation, or importing historical data. Just use different invoice prefixes to distinguish sources.
MyWorks Sync is the most feature-complete but costs $50/month. OneSaas ($25/month) is popular for budget-conscious stores. For simple needs, our CSV tool ($5/1000 rows, no subscription) is most cost-effective.
Most plugins work with all QuickBooks Online editions, but invoice/sales receipt creation may have limitations in Simple Start. Our CSV tool works with all editions (Advanced required for native invoice import, or use third-party tools like SaasAnt).
Real-time sync (plugins): Immediate. Batch sync (CSV): Daily for active stores, weekly for slower periods, monthly for historical data. Most stores find weekly batch processing sufficient unless they need real-time inventory updates.
Yes, but ensure you don't duplicate orders. Use invoice prefixes to distinguish plugin-created invoices from CSV-imported ones. Or use the plugin's export feature to migrate to CSV-only workflow.
