Using Quickbooks

[Guest]

Hi,

 

I've started experimenting with Quickbooks and am trying to get my head around how I will process the orders.

 

How does everyone else deal with the high numbers of customers coming through osC, when it comes to bringing that info into Quickbooks? Are you entering each individual customer's details into Quickbooks, or is there a smarter way to do this?

 

I am new to accounts (as you can probably tell!), and am struggling to get my head around how I will tie the two together. Any links to relevant info or even books that might help me would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

Hi Lowcostinks,

 

Thanks for the reply! That must be time consuming? Are you forcing customer registration before allowing purchases? I guess that would make life easier.

 

I would like to allow a straight to checkout option since registration might put people off. This means that I would have to manually check if the customer has purchased before to avoid duplicate customer records, since there is no unique identifier

 

Any ideas?
