How to Connect Quickbooks to Amazon Seller Central

If you’re an Amazon seller looking to streamline your bookkeeping process, connecting Quickbooks to your Amazon Seller Central account is a great place to start.

Step 1: Choose a QBO to Amazon Integration Tool

First things first, you’ll need to choose a Quickbooks Online to Amazon integration tool. There are many options available such as A2X, Link My Books, ConnectBooks, and Quickbooks Commerce (formerly known as TradeGecko). These tools automate the process of importing your Amazon transactions into Quickbooks Online, saving you time and reducing the chance of errors.

We explain them in more depth below.

Step 2: Connect Quickbooks to your Amazon Account

Once you’ve chosen your integration tool, the next step is to connect Quickbooks Online to your Amazon account. To do this, you’ll need to provide your Amazon Seller Central credentials and grant permission for the integration tool to access your Amazon data.

Step 3: Configure Settings in the Tool

Now that your Amazon account is connected to Quickbooks Online, it’s time to configure the settings in the integration tool. You can choose which types of transactions you want to import, such as orders, refunds, and fees. You can also set up mappings between your Amazon data and Quickbooks accounts, ensuring that the transactions are recorded in the correct categories.

Step 4: Watch New Data Come Into QBO

Congratulations, you’re all set up! From now on, your Amazon transactions will automatically flow into Quickbooks Online through the integration tool. You can check your accounting records to see the new data coming in and review your financial reports to keep an eye on your business’s health.

3. ConnectBooks

Should You Connect Quickbooks to Amazon Yourself?

As eCommerce bookkeeping and accounting experts, we often get asked whether Amazon sellers should connect Quickbooks to their accounts themselves or hire a bookkeeper. Let’s explore both options:

Do It Yourself

Connecting Quickbooks to Amazon yourself can save you money, but it requires some technical knowledge and can be time-consuming. You’ll need to choose an integration tool, connect your accounts, and configure the settings. This option is best for sellers who have experience with bookkeeping and are comfortable with technology.

Hire a Bookkeeper

Hiring a bookkeeper can save you time and give you peace of mind knowing that your accounting records are accurate. A bookkeeper can set up the integration for you, manage the ongoing bookkeeping tasks, and provide financial advice. However, this option can be more expensive, and you’ll need to find a reputable bookkeeper with experience in eCommerce accounting or Amazon bookkeeping.

Here’s a guide to help find an eCommerce bookkeeper.
