Frequently Asked Questions

QuickBooks rejects invoice imports if the customer name doesn't exist. Some editions support auto-creating customers during invoice import, but pre-importing ensures consistent customer records without duplicates.
You can use a generic 'Sales' or 'E-commerce Revenue' item instead of specific products. However, importing products gives you better reporting on what sells and proper inventory tracking if you use QuickBooks inventory features.
QuickBooks Online Advanced edition includes native invoice CSV import. Simple Start, Essentials, and Plus editions may require third-party tools (like SaasAnt) or manual entry for invoices.
Export orders by date range from WooCommerce. Use invoice prefix (WC-2024-) to distinguish imported historical data from current orders.
CSV import doesn't include payment data. After importing invoices, you'll need to either manually apply payments or reconcile bank deposits against invoices through QuickBooks' normal bank feed workflow.
