Connect eBay to QuickBooks Online (2024)

1. When you select the When an Order is created in eBay, create a Sale in QuickBooks Online checkbox, you will be asked to:
   • Set up the filters to determine which orders will be retrieved from eBay. Set up the filters based on the order status.
   • You also have the option to select whether you want the sale to be created as a sales invoice or sales receipt to QuickBooks Online.

     

2. Select Advanced Options and set up the following:
   • Order Number Prefix - The prefix you input here's added to all orders retrieved from your eBay account. For example, if you have order '1234' on eBay and you add the prefix 'EB' in the configuration, your order will be retrieved into QuickBooks Connector with the order number 'EB1234' and sent to QuickBooks Online accordingly.
   • Set Tax Type on Sale to be - This option will allow you to set your preferred tax type to be used when sending sales to QuickBooks Online.
   • Assign Sales to Class / Assign Sales to Location - These two options allow you to choose a default class or location within QuickBooks Online. This is an option unique to QuickBooks Online, and is available only if you have set up classes or locations within your QuickBooks company file.
   • Assign Sale to the - Most accounting systems require a customer record to be specified when a sales invoice is created. This particular option allows you to choose the nature of the customer record that is being created. The default option is Original Customer; however, if your eBay customers specify a company name, and you prefer to have that appear within your accounting system instead, then you can opt for the Customer's Organisation option. Alternatively, if you don’t want any customer records to be created within your accounting system at all, you can select the Generic Online Sale Customer option. This means all sales will be synced to your accounting system against a generic eBay customer record.
   • Automatic Invoice Numbers - This option allows you to disregard the eBay order number completely, and use the sequential numbering convention within your accounting system.
   • Discount Product - Similar to the Shipping item option above, you can specify a dedicated discount item so you can track your discounts on sales.
   • Rounding Off Product - Select the preferred product to be used when sending rounding discrepancies as a line item.
   • Use Shipping Item - You may be charging your customers extra shipping charges on your sales. If this occurs, the integration can allow you to specify a dedicated item to assign these shipping charges to. This will allow you to easily track any revenue generated from shipping charges.
   • DueDate Offset - A due date type will be assigned if transactions don’t have a due date. This is calculated using the transaction date, the due date offset and the type specified. If not set, the transaction date is used as the due date.
   • Allow Credit Card Payments - Select this option if you want to allow credit card payments for the transactions.
   • You can also select how you want to match your eBay products with your QuickBooks Online products. You can either match by Name or SKU. In order for sales to properly integrate with your accounting system, we expect that you have all of your eBay items set up with unique SKUs.

     Note: With QuickBooks Online integrations, we have two product matching options:
     Name: We match the product's SKU field from eBay to the product's Name field in QuickBooks Online
