Overview

Automatically export each day’s sales and payment settlement data to your QuickBooks Online account for the most up-to-date financial picture every morning.

This integration is best for customers who:

  • Do not pre-sell units of usage-based products via Boulevard (ex. Medspas who pre-sell discounted injectable units in bulk).

  • Only have one QuickBooks account to link (1 QuickBooks account per Boulevard business account).

  • If a multi-location business:

    • Use the QuickBooks’ locations instead of classes to distinguish in QuickBooks

    • Wants to use this integration for all locations

NOTE: You must be a Premier, Prestige, or Enterprise customer to use this integration. If you’d like to upgrade your plan, please contact your Customer Success Manager or support@blvd.co.
