You can connect QuickBooks Online with Buddy Punch. Once connected, you will easily sync employees and time on demand. In addition, you can select which time entries you wish to push to QuickBooks Online.
For more information about connectivity with QBO, see the Buddy Punch landing page on the Intuit QuickBooks App Center.
Using the QuickBooks Web Connector, you also can connect Buddy Punch to QuickBooks Desktop. To accomplish this integration, you must install the Web Connector and then download the BuddyPunch QWC Web Connector file.
Next, the QuickBooks Company file Administrator must authorize the third-party app integration within QuickBooks to access the file. Then, both the employees and payroll items must be mapped between QuickBooks and Buddy Punch.
Finally, as part of the sync process, the Payroll Administrator will review the available time entries and approve those for sync before entries are brought into QuickBooks for payroll purposes.
For more details, check out the Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Apps store landing page for Buddy Punch.
