Transaction can not be synchronized without Customer

Guide contents:
1. The connection with QuickBooks/Xero was interrupted.
2. Special characters used in the customer’s name

Error: Sales Receipt can not be synchronized without Customer
Error: Invoice can not be synchronized without Customer
Error: Payment can not be synchronized without Customer

What It Means

Synder did not manage to create/find a customer name needed in your accounting company, which is why the transaction for this customer cannot be created.

Possible Reasons

1. The connection with QuickBooks/Xero was interrupted, which is why Synder was not able to find the needed customer name.
2. Special characters used in the customer’s name (.,-&:’ etc.). QuickBooks doesn’t allow Synder to search by those characters, which leads to inability to “see” or create customer needed. As a result, Synder is unable to record a transaction for this customer. It happens due to QuickBooks API limitations (for apps), manually you can create a name with any special character.

How To Fix It

Reason A. The connection with QuickBooks/Xero was interrupted.

1. Reconnect your QuickBooks/Xero company

2. Go back to the Transactions list, select the failed transaction and click Sync to sync it again.

Reason B. Special characters used in the customer’s name

1. Open the customer specified in the transaction in your payment processor and change the customer’s name so it does not have a special character. This will allow Synder to synchronize all further transactions for this customer.
2. For the transaction that has already failed, you can select a Generic Customer by going to Settings on the left menu of the page – – > Configure button under the payment platform needed.

3. Sales tab -> Apply generic customer -> ON -> select the customer you want (make sure it doesn’t have special characters).

4. Click Update to save your settings

5. Select the failed transaction and click Sync.

6. Disable Generic customer in Settings to allow Synder to transfer over individual customer names. If it remains enabled, each sales transaction will be synchronized with the Generic Customer.
