Important notes

Note 1: Taxes are recorded as line items in Sales Receipts and Invoices. When taxes are recorded as a product line, they will not show up in tax reporting and will be reflected as a part of income.

Note 2: Initially, you will need to connect QuickBooks Desktop in single-user mode, and you should have the admin role for both QuickBooks Desktop and Synder Connector. Later on, launching QuickBooks Desktop won’t require admin rights and the mode. 

Note 3: If your QuickBooks Desktop is installed on a hosted environment, then Synder Connector should be installed on the same server as well.

Note 4: To be able to sync your transactions, you will need to have QuickBooks Desktop, Synder Connector, and the Synder site launched simultaneously. Learn more about QuickBooks Desktop connection troubleshooting.
