Managing QuickBooks In Lessen Pro

Managing QuickBooks In Lessen Pro

Connect Lessen Pro to QuickBooks Online to automatically sync invoices, customers, services, and payments — keeping your books up to date without manual entry.

Overview

The QuickBooks Online (QBO) integration allows Lessen Pro to automatically sync your financial data directly with QuickBooks — reducing manual entry and keeping your records current.

Once connected, you can manage sync settings, monitor sync activity, and review or resolve any errors — all from within Lessen Pro.

Connect Your QuickBooks Online Account

To get started, you will need to connect your QuickBooks Online account.

Please refer to this article for steps on how to integrate your QuickBooks Online account into Lessen Pro.

Configure Sync Settings on QuickBooks Online

Once connected, configure when and how your data syncs with QuickBooks. Access sync settings from the QuickBooks Online Sync Center by clicking Sync Settings in the top right.

You can configure sync timing for each of the following:

Customers

  • When they are created or edited
  • When the related invoice is synced to QuickBooks

Services

  • When they are created or edited
  • When the related invoice is synced to QuickBooks

Invoices

  • When they are created or edited
  • After they are marked as "Pending payment"

Payments

  • When they are collected
  • Do not sync

Monitor Sync Activity in the Lessen Pro: Sync Center

The QuickBooks Online Sync Center gives you full visibility into your sync activity. Access it from the QuickBooks card in My Applications by selecting QuickBooks Online Sync Center.

The Sync Center displays a log of all sync activity, including:

  • Status — Success or error for each sync event
  • Sync Time — When the sync occurred
  • Type — The record type (e.g. Invoice)
  • Item — The specific record that was synced

Use the Status, Type, and Date range filters to narrow your view. You can also click on any record to view its sync details and links to view the record in Lessen Pro or directly in QuickBooks.

How Your Data Looks in QuickBooks Online

Once synced, your Lessen Pro invoices appear directly in QuickBooks Online — ready for review, payment tracking, and reporting.

Invoices List in QuickBooks

Synced invoices appear in your QuickBooks invoices list with the customer name, date, amount, and status. From here you can view, edit, or receive payment directly in QuickBooks.


Invoice PDF View in QuickBooks

Each synced invoice includes full details — billing address, service location, line items, quantities, rates, and a total.


Disconnect QuickBooks Online Integration

If you need to disconnect the integration, you can do so directly from the QuickBooks card in My Applications.

1

Go to Business Settings and select My Applications.
2

On the QuickBooks card, click the menu and select Disconnect.
3

Confirm the disconnection. Your QuickBooks integration will be deactivated and syncing will stop.

💡 Best Practice

  • Review the Sync Center regularly to confirm your invoices and payments are syncing successfully
  • Address any sync errors promptly to keep your QuickBooks records accurate
  • Use the View in PRO and View in QuickBooks links in sync details to quickly cross-reference records

📌 Important Notes

  • The QBO integration syncs both Lessen invoices and your self-managed invoices created in Lessen Pro.
  • Sync errors will appear in the Sync Center with a total error count displayed in the top right.
  • Disconnecting the integration will stop all future syncing but will not remove previously synced data from QuickBooks.
