Important notes

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