Simplify your bookkeeping and reduce manual data entry.

How it works

2 steps to automatically add your Shopify customers to QuickBooks

Customer Created

App connector: [Shopify](/content/apps/shopify/integrate "View Shopify integration page"/index.html)• Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)

Why this matters: This step detects when someone becomes a new customer in your Shopify store and kicks off the entire workflow to sync their information.

This trigger activates whenever a new customer record is created in Shopify, which happens when someone makes their first purchase or creates an account on your store. The trigger automatically captures all the customer's information including their name, email, phone number, billing address, and any notes from their profile. No configuration is needed since MESA connects directly to your Shopify store data. Once triggered, this step passes the complete customer data to the next step for processing in QuickBooks.

Create Customer

App connector: [QuickBooks](/content/apps/quickbooks/integrate "View QuickBooks integration page"/index.html)• Time to complete: 2 minutes

Why this matters: This step takes the Shopify customer data and creates a matching customer record in QuickBooks, ensuring your accounting system stays synchronized with your store.

This action automatically maps Shopify customer fields to the corresponding QuickBooks customer fields, including display name (combining first and last name), primary email address, phone number, billing address details, and any customer notes. The step is pre-configured to handle standard customer information like address lines, city, country, postal code, and country subdivision codes. You'll need to connect your QuickBooks account to MESA and ensure you have the proper permissions to create customer records. The workflow creates a complete customer profile that matches QuickBooks' required format.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if a customer already exists in QuickBooks with the same email?

QuickBooks will prevent duplicate customer creation and return an error. You may want to add a lookup step first to check if the customer already exists, or handle the error gracefully to avoid workflow failures.

Will this sync customers who create accounts without making a purchase?

Yes, the trigger activates for any new customer record in Shopify, whether they complete a purchase or just create an account. If you only want paying customers, you'll need to add a condition to check for completed orders.

Can I customize which customer fields get synced to QuickBooks?

Absolutely. You can modify the Create Customer step to map additional Shopify fields like customer tags, marketing preferences, or custom metafields to corresponding custom fields in your QuickBooks setup.
