‘Things to consider before integrating 
Salesforce with QuickBooks’
INTEGRATING SALESFORCE WITH QUICKBOOKS 
• Versions of QuickBooks and 
Salesforce that you are integrating. Its 
more so with QuickBooks because the 
product has both desktop and cloud 
versions. 
support@algoworks.com Toll-Free: +1-877-284-1028
INTEGRATING SALESFORCE WITH QUICKBOOKS 
• What is the final goal of 
integrating? Do you want a 
one way integration or a two 
way, i.e. do you want a 
system that only retrieves 
information from one product 
to another or a system that 
can allow users to change 
the value in both systems. 
support@algoworks.com Toll-Free: +1-877-284-1028
INTEGRATING SALESFORCE WITH QUICKBOOKS 
• Should the system update records 
in real time or do you need a 
system that has to update on a 
specific schedule like on a daily, 
weekly, or monthly basis. 
support@algoworks.com Toll-Free: +1-877-284-1028
INTEGRATING SALESFORCE WITH QUICKBOOKS 
• What type of trigger you want to 
move a record from one system to 
another or update a record? 
support@algoworks.com Toll-Free: +1-877-284-1028
INTEGRATING SALESFORCE WITH QUICKBOOKS 
• What type of approvals a user 
would need to update a transaction 
into your QuickBooks accounting 
system? 
support@algoworks.com Toll-Free: +1-877-284-1028
INTEGRATING SALESFORCE WITH QUICKBOOKS 
• What is the edition of Salesforce 
that you are using? Salesforce.com 
Enterprise Edition and Unlimited 
Edition provide integration API’s and 
Professional edition will only work if 
the product has been certified to 
work with QuickBooks. Group 
editions generally do not work with 
out-of-the-box integration 
techniques so you may have to 
upgrade the edition. 
support@algoworks.com Toll-Free: +1-877-284-1028
INTEGRATING SALESFORCE WITH QUICKBOOKS 
• Most importantly, what is the on integration? 
You may have to estimate the time your integration will save and multiply it by the 
hourly wage of the employee whose time the integration is saving. 
Then subtract the integration cost and licenses cost. 
If the final numbers are negative then the only reason would be to improve 
customer satisfaction but then that you may have to consider accordingly. 
Also consider payback period if the final number are positive.

INTEGRATING SALESFORCE WITH QUICKBOOKS 
• Does the Salesforce configuration and 
QuickBooks business process workflow 
match and can be integrated? To check this 
you should make sure that custom fields are 
there in both Salesforce and QuickBooks 
products. 
• Many times if the developers of both products 
are different, there are some clashes related 
to incompatible value fields and missing 
value fields.
