Data Transformation

Each Shopify customer becomes one QuickBooks customer record

One row per customer with contact and address info

Key columns: Email, First Name, Last Name, Default Address Company

1:1 — One input row creates one output row

One customer record with mapped fields and formatted address

Display Name Priority: Company > Full Name > Email prefix (must be unique)

Billing Address Maps address fields with country code conversion (CA→Canada)

Notes Combines note and tags with tax exempt status

Each customer must have at least one identifier (name, company, or email)

Why Customer Migration Matters

The Clean Start Problem

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.

What This Tool Does

We convert Shopify customer exports to QuickBooks import format: - Names formatted for QBO uniqueness requirements - Addresses properly mapped to billing fields - Country codes converted to full names - Tags and notes preserved Import your entire customer database in minutes.

Common Customer Import Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Customers Export data to Customer Import - and how we solve them

Duplicate Display Name

QuickBooks requires unique 'Name' across all customers, vendors, and employees

John Smith (appears twice)

Our converter uses Company > Full Name > Email priority for uniqueness

Manually check for duplicates before import or use company names

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
