GoHighLevel QuickBooks Integration Setup Guide

If you manage projects in ClickUp and client accounts in GoHighLevel, connecting your CRM to QuickBooks Online can streamline your billing workflow. This guide walks you step by step through setting up the official QuickBooks integration, enabling invoice sync and transaction tracking between both platforms.

Before you start, ensure you have admin access in your GoHighLevel account and a QuickBooks Online account with the correct permissions. The integration follows a simple sequence: enable the app, connect accounts, choose sync settings, and test the connection.

What You Need Before Connecting GoHighLevel

To avoid issues during setup, verify these requirements are in place before you start the GoHighLevel integration process:

• An active GoHighLevel account with agency or sub-account access where the integration will be used.
• An active QuickBooks Online account (the integration is designed for QuickBooks Online, not desktop versions).
• Admin or owner permissions in both systems.
• Stable internet connection and an updated browser.

Having these items ready will help the GoHighLevel connection to QuickBooks complete without errors or timeouts.

How to Open the GoHighLevel QuickBooks Integration

Follow these steps to locate the QuickBooks integration inside your GoHighLevel account:

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel dashboard.
2. Navigate to the appropriate sub-account (location) where you want to connect QuickBooks.
3. From the left-hand navigation, open the Settings area.
4. Locate and click on the Integrations or Apps section, depending on your current interface version.
5. Find the QuickBooks integration tile or option and click it to open the setup window.

If you do not see the QuickBooks option in GoHighLevel, confirm that your plan supports this integration and that you are viewing the correct sub-account.

Step-by-Step: Connect GoHighLevel to QuickBooks

Once you have opened the integration panel, you can connect GoHighLevel to QuickBooks Online using these steps:

1. In the QuickBooks integration window, click Connect or Sign in with QuickBooks.
2. A new window will redirect you to the official QuickBooks Online login page.
3. Enter your QuickBooks Online credentials and click Sign In.
4. If you have multiple QuickBooks companies, choose the correct company file you want to connect to GoHighLevel.
5. Review the permissions screen that explains what data GoHighLevel can access (such as invoices and customers).
6. Click Authorize or Connect to grant access.
7. Wait for the confirmation screen indicating that GoHighLevel and QuickBooks are now connected.

After authorization, you will be redirected back to GoHighLevel where you can configure how data should sync between the two platforms.

Configure Sync Settings in GoHighLevel

With the basic connection in place, adjust your GoHighLevel QuickBooks settings so data flows the way you expect:

1. Open the QuickBooks settings inside your GoHighLevel integration area again.
2. Select sync direction, such as whether GoHighLevel should push invoices to QuickBooks, pull data from QuickBooks, or both when available.
3. Map customers or contacts so that contacts in GoHighLevel match customers in QuickBooks by email or name, as supported by the integration.
4. Choose default accounts (for income, taxes, or categories) if the integration offers account-mapping options.
5. Enable or disable automatic syncing so invoices and transactions are either synced in real time or only when you manually trigger a sync.

Make sure to save your settings in GoHighLevel before closing the page to avoid losing your configuration.

Using the GoHighLevel and QuickBooks Connection

After setup, you can start using the connection between GoHighLevel and QuickBooks to simplify billing and accounting tasks.

Create Invoices in GoHighLevel for QuickBooks

Depending on your plan and feature access, you may be able to generate invoices or transactions directly inside GoHighLevel and send them to QuickBooks:

1. Open the contact, opportunity, or pipeline item that needs to be billed.
2. Use the available billing or invoicing tools in GoHighLevel to create a new invoice.
3. Select the products or services, quantities, and pricing.
4. Save the invoice and choose to sync or send it to QuickBooks if a specific button or toggle is available.
5. Confirm that the invoice appears correctly inside your QuickBooks Online company.

This workflow helps keep your financial data consistent while you continue to manage sales and marketing activities inside GoHighLevel.

Sync and Reconcile Data from GoHighLevel

To maintain accurate books, it is important to regularly check how data is syncing between the two systems:

• Run scheduled or manual syncs in the GoHighLevel QuickBooks integration panel if such options are provided.
• Compare totals, invoice counts, and outstanding balances between GoHighLevel and QuickBooks.
• Use QuickBooks reports to verify that new invoices from your GoHighLevel workspace are correctly categorized.

Monitoring these details allows you to quickly find and correct mapping issues or permission problems between GoHighLevel and QuickBooks.

Troubleshooting the GoHighLevel QuickBooks Integration

If the integration does not behave as expected, consider the following checks:

• Authorization errors: Reconnect QuickBooks from inside GoHighLevel if tokens have expired or permissions changed.
• Missing invoices or contacts: Review how contacts are mapped and confirm that required fields like email or name are present in GoHighLevel.
• Duplicate records: Check whether both systems are set to create new customers automatically, and adjust GoHighLevel mapping rules to reduce duplicates.
• Sync delays: Look for any manual sync button in the GoHighLevel QuickBooks settings to force an update if automatic sync is not immediate.

When in doubt, compare timestamps and recent changes in both systems to identify which side may be causing the discrepancy.
