Sync Avaza Invoices with QuickBooks Online

Automatically sync Avaza Invoices with QuickBooks Online via our new powerful integration! Our new two-way sync automates your invoicing for you! Once set up, this new integration will sync new invoices and updates to existing invoices, reference data (including Customers and Products/Services aka Inventory Items) to QuickBooks Online, as well as Payments to and from Avaza to QuickBooks Online. 

Advanced Integrations currently allow you to sync Invoices with Xero and QuickBooks Online.

During the sync, we pass specific information to and from QuickBooks Online. Here is the direction in which data is synced.

1. Connect Avaza with QuickBooks Online

Navigate to Settings > Marketplace Apps. Click on the QuickBooks app from the list.
