Payouts into QuickBooks

One QuickBooks entry per Shopify payout. The deposit matches to the cent.

Levelrow posts each Shopify Payments payout into QuickBooks Online as a single journal entry, split to your own accounts: sales, shipping, tax, discounts, refunds, gift cards, tips and fees. For every payout it shows deposit minus entry, and names any cent that does not match.

01

The first day

Connect, confirm the map, post

Three steps on the first day. After that, Levelrow checks for new payouts every hour and posts them in order. Moving from a per-order connector? Read how payout journal entries differ from order-by-order imports.

01

Sign in to QuickBooks Online

Pick the bank account your payouts land in. Levelrow reads your chart of accounts; it writes nothing yet. Multi-currency companies are told so up front instead of getting wrong entries.

Confirm one account per line type

Levelrow lists the line types found in your last 60 days of payouts with a suggested account from your own chart. You confirm or change each one. Nothing is assumed, and nothing posts to an account you did not choose.

Product sales → Sales of Product Income
Tax collected by Shopify → Marketplace Tax Collected
shop_cash_credit → choose an account
03

One journal entry per payout

The entry's bank line equals the payout, so your bank feed suggests the match and you confirm it. Change the map later and repost only the payouts it affects; Levelrow removes its own entries and touches nothing else.

The difference

When it does not close, you see why — and you can close it here

Shopify sends over a hundred transaction types and documents none of them. Levelrow never guesses an account for one it has not seen. It posts the rest of the payout, shows the gap, and asks you once. Give this one an account and watch the difference go to zero.

Margin notes

What Levelrow does not do

The scope is narrow on purpose. If one of these is what you need, this is not the right tool yet.

No entry per order

Levelrow posts one summarised entry per payout. Order-level invoices or sales receipts are not created.

Not instant

Shopify has no payout event to listen to. Levelrow checks every hour and tells you when it last checked and when it will check next.

QuickBooks Online only, US, USD

Xero, multi-currency companies and non-US tax are not supported in this version. A company that does not fit is refused at connection, with the reason.

No customer data

Levelrow reads order amounts and tax, never names, addresses, emails or phone numbers. It writes nothing back to Shopify.

Questions

To the liability account you choose, as a line on the journal entry. A US QuickBooks company does not accept tax codes on journal entries, so the sales tax centre is not updated by Levelrow; tax you collected and tax Shopify collected on your behalf are kept in separate accounts.

Match the bank feed one payout at a time.
