I currently use QBO, but anything from my square checking account (I use square as a POS for credit and debit transactions, then, once it pulls any amounts owed toward my square “loan,” it pulls whatever percentage of the sale of choose and puts it into my square savings (disperses it according to my preferences amongst different folders created in my square savings acct) and puts whatever is left into my square checking account. I can then either use the card issued via square checking OR manually transfer it to my bank, either instantly for a fee or overnight for free.
typically, I just use the card, why not?
Probably thisbisnwhybnkt, as even if I I transfer a pdf off or csv or whatever square let’s me get away with downloading the info as, I still can only import 1000 lines of excel type documents at a time, AND, it likes to record the payments/withdrawals as income and transfers into and out of my savings account as income and likes to count my loans as transfers and pretty much any money moved anywhere, except for from square checking to my reg bank which goes down as a transfer (sometimes, or sometimes as a withdrawal, depends on how it feels that day), as income.
it is extremely frustrating. I set it up tk act a certain way, it does the opposite. I set it up opposite and go through and delete all transactions recorded backwards, and oh look it wants to record transactions properly and pretty much no matter where or how I designate the each transaction, whether it’s in, out, transfer, withdrawal, sales, loan payment, McDonald’s off mg square card, transfer to my ‘taxes’ folder in my savings acct, transfer from my ‘workkng capital’ folder in my savings to my checking acct to pay for materials, and then from my checking to my regular bank acct, regardless of what I tell it to do or try to manipulate it into acting like, it just goes rogue and records everything as income and sometimes payments as transfers to acts that don’t actually exist. Like I have supposedly 85,000 in my square checking acct. and another 13,400 in my regular bank account. Square savings isn’t too shabby with another 23k and my ‘cost of goods sold’ and my ‘jobsite materials and supplies’ accounts are sporting 6 and 7 grand respectively. Like wtf. How is there not been enough frustration with the integration between these two to where someone has had enough and just made this work, either from square or from QuickBooks. There are millions of hours in coding and setup and tons of videos on the web about how to do the workarounds or buy this or thag software to integrate for you and it ends up being trash and waste of money, how is theee not one person who knows computers, kkows both programs, and is sick as hell of the level of nonsense created between the two platforms when do many, SO MANY other software integrations are so smooth and transition effortlessly? How is there not one computer genius that hasn’t been effected but this outrageously frustrating hiccup on both companies parts and their reluctance to provide a real, effective, not rocket science caliber way of making this unnecessarily difficult issue just go the eff away.
it could even be marketed as the end all be all square to QuickBooks suite problem solving software. Know how many people would invest in it?! And it couldn’t really even be thag dofficukt for someone who knows coding and setup t be able to manipulate and setup as an actual solution.
hell I’d pay a developer to produce something practical, that works, that isn’t counter intuitive or only worth anything to a computer programming genius, that could aid in the quest for the end of this actual bullcrap system of proprietary entities warring it up between each other where the only ones who suffer are the users who face little to no alternatives, that just so happen to also be effin impossibke to implement smoothly or thag actually makes life not miserable. I love owning a business. Until I think about how redundant the idea of using two clashing software programs for operations and accounting and how impossibly work they have gone about making the two react and respond to information sharing between the two.
its th DUMBEST thing I’ve ever had to attempt to work with. It’s maddening.
seriously I’m going to chat gpt an some sort of movement that ends both of these programs for good due to their insistence on making life hell for the multitudes.
“Yoh have tk have 18 accounting degrees, a programming degree, be a monk whose reached the 33rd chamber of the shaolin, a 33rd degree free mason, a mystic yogi from India whose attained and achieved true enlightenment for a period of 33 years without speaking a word, oh ya AND yoh have to ACTUALLY BE JESUS. Only then, young grasshopper, can you unlock the ancient Chinese secret of integrating your sales, savings, loans, checking and regular bank accounts into QuickBooks flawlessly and easily.
ya, ya, ya, we know it should be a simple thing. If I’m computing it with my OWN brain, I don’t do sk bad, just takes forever to manually transfer the data. Wanna speed thag uo?
oooh… ya, um… ya you can’t do that. That would MAKE TOO MUCH EFFIN SENSE, SORRY!!! CANT GO THAT ROUTE!!! WE WOULD RATHER TORMENT YOU AND MAKE YIU CONSIDER ACTUALLY CLOSING DOEN BUSINESS DUE TO THE HEADACHE OF SOMETHJNG SI SIMOLE AS TRANDFERRING DAYS INTO THE RIGHT EFFIN ACCOUNT, SUCK IT!!! LOSER!”
ya thanks square, thanks quick books suite.
you both are evil, terrible corporations who, if you just made a simple bridge for all this, would probably monopolize the market even further.
but na. You’d rather make lives trrribke for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of needy business owners.
what? Focus on my business instead of always on whethe my accounting will come hit right for once?

BAHAHAHAHAJAHAHAHAHAHAJAHAHSHAHAHAJA
Ya, no. Sorry. You shall suffer. Now to bow to the QuickBooks square live child underworld god who doth own that asssset you so heavily rely on puny mortal! Business is supposed to make you hate your life, not enrich it or enable you to get ahead!! Such a dumb little mortal puny piece of schlit these pathetic business owners are, bahahahahaja!”
now can you see why I’m so effin angry?
shouldntnhave to. Should be an “integration,” not a spit show. This is wack as vanilla ice, and we are just expected to agree and take it? How has nobody fixed this with an actual simple, working model of what to do here to keep this from requiring two or three or four more softwares and programs and subscriptions in order to make it work? This is some straight horse spit and I for one, say it’s time for something better. Something I don’t have to fork out an extra $400
a year PLUS AN ACCOUTANT TO MONITOR AND CLEAN UP EVERY MONTH. It’s ridiculous. There is most definitely a better way. I just wanna know whose found it, and the.man, PLEASE, tell me how to achieve enlightenment here because this is the dumbest, most ridiculous redundancy I’ve ever had to actively stay engaged in to get to the end of the candy land.
this is not only unacceptable, but a straight kick to the teeth to all their clients, both companies.
there needs to be some sort of something happening here and there just isn’t. WHH THE EFF NOT???
It’s a MJAOR problem experienced by EVERY USER of both platforms and who integrate them. Every single one of us has an issue with how stupid and ain’t user friendly the “integration” between the two is. Why has there been ABSOLUTELY ZERO REAL PROGRESS HERE???
it’s like a conspiracy theory. This is like a big “eff you” to all their clients. And we just sit back and shovel it all right into our empty mouths, actually thank them for it, PAY BOTB THE RESTAURANT AND THE CHEF FOR IT, THEN PAY AN ACCOUNTANT TO FIX IT AND A DEVELOPER OF THREE DIFFERENT SECTORS WHICH CONTROL DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE LOGISTICS OF MAKING THE WHOLE CROOKED EMPIRE CONTINUE TK WORK AND THEN, PAY FOR YEG ANOTHER LERSON TO STEP IN AND MAKEKT EVEN WORSE STOLL!!!
why are we, as Americans especially, settling for this inexcusable behavior from companies that we ACTUALLY PAY ACTUALLY HARD EARNED DOLLARS TO just to be jerked around and made a mockery of? What the hell is this bull crap?
this isn’t how I was raised. I pay for the best of the best, and only that, and anything less can go out of business because in America, we want the biggest best brightest flashiest dumbest whatever the eff it is, so LONG AS IT WORKS LIKE ITS SUPPOSED TO WITHOUT BEING TOO DIFFICULT TO ACTUALLY OPERATE OR FUNCTION.
What happens to products that work less than optimistically or in a manner that is not setup for our success with it? It is RE imagined, destroyed, or rendered obsolete and outsourced to some company that CAN provide desirable results.
why is this not taking place here?! Why are we, at such high numbers , settling for this subpar service a d inefficient form of getting things done? Are we really all just waiting around for something that continues to just never come?
shre, plenty capitalize off of the void they thrust us into, but the lack, the total lack, of a solution here is not only surprising, but appalling and beguiling as it is ridiculous and mysteriously absent from the realm of existence. What the hell is going on?
