The key here is to define what exactly is meant by 'integration with
Quickbooks'.
There is an option in QuickBooks that allows other applications to access QuickBooks. I'm not exactly sure how this works. But if you have a copy of QuickBooks to look at, it's done through Edit > Preferences > Integrated Applications.
Our best understanding is that people need the ability to
export monetary transactions from Wild Apricot and import them into
Quickbooks. Next question: what particular transactions and in what
format?
Format depends upon what method you use to pull transactions into QuickBooks. This can be done via IIF or Web Connect files. Unfortunately, you cannot import accounting transactions into QuickBooks via Excel, CSV, or text files. I'm not sure what the "file type" would be for the "Integrated Applications" approach. As for the types of transactions - all AR transactions that are and can be recorded in Wild Apricot. But I would also add that it would be useful to be able to export member lists from WA to QuickBooks, at least the name and mailing address.
I hope this has been helpful. I'd also like to add that, as a bookkeeper, the ability to have financial data flow directly into my accounting software (or at least import it) would be a huge and welcome improvement over the need to key data. I hope this is something that Wild Apricot will be putting serious effort into soon. Thanks!
