QuickBooks Integration with Act!
Qsales for Act!
See the whole picture with contact & customer data in one place
Keystroke's Qsales seamlessly integrates your Act! and Quickbooks applications together to give your whole team the account visibility they need to be more productive and informed. Having the data to see contacts as customers allows users to understand the value of an account in an instant, including their account status, product preferences, payment patterns, and even the volume of business from year to year.
Qsales allows users to quickly respond to urgent customer needs by recording or reviewing transactions from inside of Act!. And the Overdue Toolbar Utility warns users of past due accounts, helping to avoid further credit risks with that client.
Qsales is available in two versions - Classic & API. Classic links the Act! & QuickBooks programs together, allowing users to quickly share data between the two programs and across multiple data files. Qsales API, on the other hand, links the "data files" together through our proprietary API, and therefore only needs one QuickBooks license for all Act! users, without needing QuickBooks locally installed for most users.
More data visibility for more users is why we say Qsales makes Act! the perfect CRM for QuickBooks.

Qsales Classic v14 supports reporting, Qsales Classic v12.x does not. | ||||
Be alerted of overdue accounts on the Qsales Toolbar | ||||
Works with 64-Bit versions of Act! & QB | ||||
Classic requires matching bitness between the programs, so 64-bit versions of Act! must be matched with 64-bit versions of QuickBooks, and the same for 32-bit versions.
Qsales API is the only version that can cross bitnesses. | ||||
Automatically create Act! contacts from new QB customers | ||||
Convert opportunities to QB Transactions | ||||
Refresh data from QB into Act! on demand | ||||

Transaction Search inside of Act! | ||||
Filterable transaction lists at contact & global level | ||||
User level security | ||||
Includes 14-day free trial | ||||
Due to the setup complexity of the API version, no trial is available. We recommend doing a trial in Classic, and converting to an API deployment if needed. The Qsales data works with either version (exclusive of v12.x) |

Frequently Asked Questions
Prior to Qsales API, each Act! user needed a QuickBooks license to integrate Qsales. This could easily add $400-1000 in license cost per user. Qsales API connects all users to the QuickBooks data through one user account, meaning a business can provide everyone access to vital accounting details for the cost of one QuickBooks license.
Qsales Classic still requires the one-to-one setup, but is much easier to configure than an API deployment.
