How the integration works
Seamlessly Connect Inventory and Accounting with Cin7 and QuickBooks Online
Getting Cin7 and QuickBooks connected is straightforward. And once it's set up, it largely runs itself. Here's the short version of how it works:
- Set up the sync: connect your QuickBooks account directly from within Cin7. No complex technical setup, no developer required.
- Map your accounts: tell Cin7 which QuickBooks accounts your sales, purchases, COGS, and adjustments should flow into and what data from Quickbooks you want to sync back to Cin7 such as payments.
- Set your sync preferences: choose how frequently data syncs, whether you want real-time updates or batched transactions, and how you'd like to handle tax and multi-currency scenarios.
- Let Cin7 do the heavy lifting: from that point on, every order, stock movement, and financial transaction syncs automatically between Cin7 and QuickBooks.
The result? Less time toggling between systems, fewer errors from manual data entry, and a financial picture that's always accurate and always current.
Customer success
Trusted by Businesses That Need Operational Control and Financial Accuracy
When you pair Cin7 with QuickBooks Online, you get the best of both worlds: powerful inventory management and rock-solid accounting, all connected and working together.
Why Cin7 and QuickBooks Online Are Better Together
QuickBooks Online is one of the most trusted accounting platforms in the world. It's powerful, intuitive, and built to help businesses manage their cash flow, invoicing, payroll, and financial reporting with confidence.
But here's the thing: QuickBooks Online is designed to be your accounting backbone, not your inventory engine. When your product catalog grows, your sales channels multiply, and your warehouse gets more complex, QuickBooks alone starts to show its limits. That's where Cin7 comes in.
Cin7 extends QuickBooks Online's accounting strengths with advanced inventory management. Giving you real-time stock visibility, automated order workflows, demand forecasting, and multi-location control. Together, they create a connected system where your inventory data and your financial data always tell the same story. No more reconciling spreadsheets. No more guessing at your true cost of goods. Just clean, accurate numbers you can trust.
