Brink's recommends automatic (daily) QuickBooks Online syncing only if you are not opting into our new coding options. This will push your settled transactions to QuickBooks Online on a daily basis. For users taking advantage of our advanced mapping, we recommend manual syncing to allow for tag maintenance and updates.
You must have the correct credentials and level of permissions within QuickBooks Online before attempting to set up the integration or sync transactions. Also, please ensure that your Brink's account as listed within your QuickBooks Chart of Accounts is not designated as a Liability.
