Why is the Smart Rules feature so important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a situation that actually can happen to anyone who\u2019s connecting their sales channel or payment platforms with accounting software: some providers don\u2019t support classification, categorization, and other important details that are important to track. That leads to missing data in the final reports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best example is Stripe and QuickBooks \u2013 Stripe doesn\u2019t have any accounts or classes but it\u2019s essential to have them in QuickBooks for better understanding of business performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart Rules feature deals with filling in such gaps in the data flawlessly. By creating an if-then chain that\u2019ll trigger certain actions that the user has set beforehand, the missing information will be filled automatically during synchronization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
