How Shopify and QuickBooks records line up
Shopify and QuickBooks both store the customer's email address. askotter lowercases and trims it on both sides before matching, so the same person shows up as one customer across the two tools.
Both tools can hold a phone number. Numbers are normalised to one international format before matching, which catches customers who never gave an email.
Shared between the two: the customer email address and the phone number.
QuickBooks is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
Shopify on its own
Shopify sees the order and the landing page. It has no view of the ad impressions, emails or searches that came before that session.
Timing. Shopify writes each order the moment it is placed, including the landing page and referring site of the session that bought.
Access. Read-only access through the Shopify Admin API, approved from the store admin.
QuickBooks on its own
QuickBooks sees what was billed and paid. It has no idea which marketing produced the customer.
Timing. QuickBooks shows revenue when invoices and sales receipts are entered, which can trail the sale in a busy month.
Access. The QuickBooks Online Accounting API with read-only OAuth access.
