Import Transactions from Etsy Shop into QuickBooks Online
Read the information given below to set up the app and bring your Etsy transactions into QuickBooks.
Step 1: Setting Up Accounts in QuickBooks
You have to make sure these accounts are set up in QuickBooks before using the Sync with Etsy app to import your transactions:
- Etsy bank account is where your money from sales is deposited.
- Etsy charges your seller fees to this bank or credit card account.
You can check if these accounts are already in QuickBooks by going to your chart of accounts:
- Go to Settings ⚙.
- Select Chart of Accounts.
- Look for the accounts in the list.
Step 2: Set Up & Sync with Etsy App
Connect QuickBooks to your Etsy shop after setting up the account:
- From the left menu, select Apps from QuickBooks
- Click on the Find apps tab.
- enter “Etsy” in the search field, then select Sync with Etsy from the list.
- Click on Get App Now.
- Now, follow the instruction on the screen to set up the app, which are:
- Give permission to Intuit to access your Etsy shop.
- Select the bank accounts which you set up in step 1 so that the app knows where to enter transactions.
- Choose the import start date.
When the setup is finished, the app starts importing your Etsy transaction into QuickBooks. Soon after the first import, the Etsy payment account is checked by the app t least once every three hours and brings in the latest transactions.
Step 3: Adjust your Books for Past Transactions
If you choose to import past Etsy transactions in step 2, the app may duplicate transactions already in your books. They may be counted twice in your accounting as a result of this. You must review your QuickBooks income and expenses that you posted before you set up the Sync with the Etsy app, so your accounting stays accurate.
These adjustments are needed to be made only after the first import. By syncing with the Etsy app, new transactions are imported, which automatically creates transfers to match deposits or charges to your bank or credit card account. This will prevent transactions from being counted twice.
Step 4: Reconcile Etsy Account and Bank Account
Review your “Etsy <Name of your shop>” account each month and ensure that it matches the statement from the bank you use for your Etsy payment account. The transactions in your payment account for that period are shown on Etsy’s statements, but there are no beginning or ending balances.
