Connecting Your Shop Boss Account to QuickBooks via API Nation
This Shop Boss integration is a huge boon for QuickBooks users! It’s always on, it’s always syncing the two apps, keeping the info in lockstep. As soon as you close a repair order or part sale, or create a payment in Shop Boss,that info is flashed right into your attached QuickBooks account. No copying, no pasting, no data entry errors and hassle.
And of course, it’s quick and easy to set up:
How to Set It Up
The only way to set up this particular integration is through your Shop Boss account. You will not be able to successfully set up the integration by starting in API Nation, but you absolutely can manage an existing integration from Shop Boss here.
To Set up:

- Navigate to the Accounting section on the left hand side
- Click on QuickBooks
- Click on Create API Nation Account
- Connect QuickBooks Online by Signing in when prompted
- Configure settings for the Integration
- Click Subscribe and Sync
How Does it Work
This integration syncs payments made in Shop Boss as payments in QuickBooks. When a Repair Order is closed in Shop Boss an identical Invoice is created in QuickBooks with the matching RO number.
How to Bulk Transfer
There is an option to bulk transfer transactions from Shop Boss to QuickBooks Online. Users will often do this to import batches of previous transactions, or to remedy previous QuickBooks online entries.
Before doing a Bulk Transfer, please watch this video, and also call API Nation to ensure success throughout the process.
