Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the initial order sync date be adjusted?
A: The sync start date can only be changed by disconnecting the integration and reconnecting it and selecting a new sync start date. Please note that this poses a risk of duplicate receipts being sent to QuickBooks. If duplicates are sent, the customer will need to manually delete the duplicate sales receipts in QuickBooks. 

Q: Can I edit my sales receipts?
A: Sales receipts are editable in QuickBooks, but please note that editing your sales receipts will change the automatic calculation. Therefore, we recommend you do not edit sales receipts. Specifically, any dollar amount fields or tax checkboxes.

Q: Can I connect my QuickBooks account to more than one Clover Hospitality account?
A: No. Your QuickBooks account can only be connected to one Clover Hospitality account at a time.

Q: Can I connect my QuickBooks account to multiple locations?
A: Yes.

Q: Will deleting any of the integrations impact the data I have in QuickBooks?
A: No. Once the data has been synced to QuickBooks, all sales receipts created in QuickBooks will remain in your dashboard. 

Q: What happens if I delete a sales receipt in QuickBooks?
A: You can delete a sales receipt in QuickBooks. Please note that if you delete a sales receipt, the action is final and cannot be undone. If you delete a sales receipt by mistake, you can manually create a new sales receipt in QuickBooks. 

Q: What if I don’t have a QuickBooks account? Can I sign up through Clover Hospitality?
A: If you’re a new QuickBooks user, you can create an account via QuickBooks Online. Once your account has been created, you can enable the integration in the Clover Hospitality dashboard following the steps outlined above.
