QuickBooks

QuickBooks integration for sign shops

QuoteJacket pushes to QuickBooks Online. It does not replace it. Connect once in Settings. Then export an Estimate from a quote, or an Invoice or Sales Receipt from a job. One-way. On Shop, Team, and Crew.

Connect and push

  1. In Settings → QuickBooks, connect your QuickBooks Online company with your Intuit login.
  2. Open QuickBooks in the app after it is connected.
  3. Find the quote or job you want to export.
  4. Choose the document: quotes export as Estimate only; jobs export as Invoice or Sales Receipt.
  5. Match the customer to an existing QuickBooks customer, or create one, then push. A successful export will not send twice.

What gets pushed

QuoteJacket sends line items: description, quantity, and pretax amount. Notes from the quote or job can go on the QuickBooks document.

Document numbers use prefixes — E for estimate, J for invoice, R for sales receipt — so you can see what came from the shop.

Your customer never sees cost or margin on a QuoteJacket quote or invoice. QuickBooks gets those same pretax sales lines, not internal cost fields.

Tax and totals

Line amounts are pretax. QuickBooks applies its own tax, so the total there may differ from your shop invoice PDF.

That is the point. We are not your accounting system. Tax stays in QuickBooks.

Deposits and payments

Take deposit in QuoteJacket records an amount and a time on the job. We do not charge the customer's card, and we do not post a payment in QuickBooks for you.

Push Invoice or Sales Receipt when you are ready. Record payment in QuickBooks the way you already do.

Document types

Quotes and jobs export different documents.

JobSales ReceiptTreat as paid / cash sale in your books

What this does not do

  • One-way only — nothing syncs back from QuickBooks into QuoteJacket.
  • No inventory, payroll, or card capture in QuickBooks from us.
  • Quotes cannot export as Invoice — Convert to Job first.
  • Jobs cannot export as Estimate.
  • You need QuickBooks Online. Connect it in Settings before you export.

FAQ

Does QuoteJacket replace QuickBooks?
No. We push Estimate, Invoice, and Sales Receipt. Accounting, tax, and payments stay in QuickBooks.
Why do totals differ after export?
We send pretax lines. QuickBooks applies its own tax. Fix tax in QuickBooks if you need the totals to match.
I pushed the wrong document. What now?
Fix or void it in QuickBooks. QuoteJacket will not send the same successful export again.
Is QuickBooks on every plan?
Yes — Shop, Team, and Crew. Export is not an upgrade.
Does a deposit go to QuickBooks?
No. Deposit is recorded in QuoteJacket only. Post the payment in QuickBooks yourself. We never take your customer's card.
