QuickBooks Information

The first step in setting up Arclight to work with QuickBooks Desktop is to provide your QuickBooks Desktop user name and password. You will also be asked for an email address so Arclight can send you instructions for completing the setup on your desktop computer running QuickBooks Desktop.

Completing the Integration

On your desktop computer running QuickBooks Desktop, locate the email sent from Arclight. The email contains a Word document with detailed instructions for completing the integration and a QuickBooks web connector file. You can download instructions here.

The high-level steps to complete the integration are:

Save the .qwc file to your desktop
Open QuickBooks Desktop
Open your existing company
Go to File / Update Web Services
Click "Add an Application"
Locate and select the .qwc file saved to your desktop
Select the checkbox next to the new application, enter QuickBooks password and click "Update Selected"

Confirm the Integration in Arclight

Back in Arclight the status should change to "Connected". Be sure the option to send invoices to the General Ledger is selected.

If you want to send itemized invoices to QuickBooks Desktop make sure the "Send Itemized Invoices" option is checked.
