How People Use This

None of my Amazon clients want to switch to QuickBooks Online, so I was stuck manually building IIF files in Notepad. One wrong tab character and the whole import fails silently. This tool generates clean IIF files with proper TRNS/SPL/ENDTRNS headers — I imported two weeks of settlements in under a minute.

I run QuickBooks Premier and every Amazon integration app either requires Online or charges $100/month for Desktop support. I downloaded my settlement report from Seller Central, uploaded it here, and had a balanced IIF journal entry imported through File > Utilities in about 90 seconds. No API keys, no subscription.

Vijay R.
Amazon FBA Seller · QuickBooks Premier 2023

Half my clients still use QuickBooks Enterprise and they sell on Amazon. The settlement CSV has 40+ columns that mean nothing to QuickBooks Desktop. The IIF output gives me balanced general journal entries with the fee breakdown mapped to their existing Chart of Accounts. Just had to make sure the account names matched.

We process about 600 Amazon orders biweekly and the settlement reports were piling up. I tried pasting data into QuickBooks manually but the ASCII encoding issues with special characters in product names kept causing import failures. The converter strips all that out and the IIF imports cleanly every time.

One of my clients has been on QuickBooks Pro 2021 forever and refuses to upgrade. I was worried the IIF format wouldn't work but it imported perfectly. The clearing account workflow means the journal entry balances against the Amazon payout and bank reconciliation takes five minutes instead of an hour.

Common Conversion Questions

Which QuickBooks Desktop versions work?

QuickBooks Pro, Premier, and Enterprise from 2020 through 2025. Older versions may work but are not tested.

Why do accounts need to exist first?

IIF import requires exact account name matches. QuickBooks won't create accounts automatically during IIF import. Add any missing accounts to your Chart of Accounts before importing.

Can I use this with QuickBooks Online?

No, IIF is Desktop-only. For QuickBooks Online, use our CSV tool at /integrate/amazon-quickbooks instead.

Why QuickBooks Desktop Users Need a Different Approach

IIF Format Requirements

QuickBooks Desktop (Pro, Premier, Enterprise) doesn't accept CSV journal entries. It requires IIF (Intuit Interchange Format)—a tab-delimited text file with specific header rows and transaction structure. Our tool generates properly formatted IIF files that import directly through File → Utilities → Import → IIF Files.

Desktop-Specific Considerations

- Must be in single-user mode during import - Admin login required - All accounts must exist in Chart of Accounts before import - ASCII encoding only (special characters replaced) - General Journal entry type for balanced fee breakdown
