Quick Answers

What fields are imported?

Name, company, email, phone, billing address (street, city, state, zip, country), and notes. Shopify tags are appended to notes. Tax exempt status is noted but QBO handles tax settings differently.

Are country codes converted?

Yes. Shopify uses ISO codes (CA, US, GB). We convert these to full names (Canada, United States, United Kingdom) which QuickBooks expects.

Will this overwrite existing customers?

QuickBooks will skip customers with matching display names. To update existing customers, you'll need to use the QBO interface or API.

Starting fresh with QuickBooks? Your Shopify has hundreds of customers with addresses, emails, and purchase history. Manually entering each one takes hours. Without migration, you lose the ability to invoice returning customers or run meaningful reports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your data never leaves your device. All files are processed entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript - no data is stored on our servers or sent anywhere. There's no account to hack, no database storing your files, and no API connections to your bank or accounting software. You upload, convert, download, and we forget it immediately.

No payment or signup required. You can upload your file, see a free preview of the conversion results, and verify everything looks correct before paying anything. If it doesn't work for your files, you haven't wasted any money. We only charge when you're satisfied and ready to download the final converted file.

You can, but free scripts and AI often miss edge cases that break real-world data: missing SKUs, currency formatting quirks, tax calculation errors, or date format mismatches. We have battle-tested validators specifically designed for accounting software imports that catch these issues before they corrupt your books. Plus, you get instant browser-based conversion without installing Python or managing dependencies.

Name, company, email, phone, billing address (street, city, state, zip, country), and notes. Shopify tags are appended to notes. Tax exempt status is noted but QBO handles tax settings differently.

QBO requires globally unique names. We use: Company (if exists) > 'First Last' (if both exist) > Email prefix. This prevents import errors from duplicate names.

Yes. Shopify uses ISO codes (CA, US, GB). We convert these to full names (Canada, United States, United Kingdom) which QuickBooks expects.

Customers must have at least a name or email. Guest checkouts with only order data but no customer info cannot be converted.

QuickBooks will skip customers with matching display names. To update existing customers, you'll need to use the QBO interface or API.

These are Shopify-calculated fields. QuickBooks calculates its own totals from your imported transactions, so these fields are not imported.

Yes, you can import customers from multiple locations. If using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise, locations can be mapped to inventory sites. QuickBooks Online has limitations with multi-location support.

Email addresses are required in the import file. If an email is missing, you can leave the field blank, but the Email column must be present or the import will fail.

Phone numbers follow QuickBooks format requirements. If you encounter errors about invalid phone format, remove the phone number and save the customer without it.

Yes, customers with duplicate email addresses are skipped during import. Only the last profile with the duplicated email is imported into QuickBooks.
