When attempting to access the Intuit QuickBooks Company Data File, there are various errors that you might experience. The sections below detail methods to remedy some of the most frequent errors.

Duplication Errors

When you set up QuickBooks Integration, you are setting it to work with a particular Company Account within QuickBooks. If you open QuickBooks and then open a different company file and try to run the data transfer, you get an error. Also, if you deactivate and then reactivate QuickBooks integration without deleting the first configuration file, you get an error.

To Resolve These Types of Errors

  1. Disable the QuickBooks integration in Quick Shopping Cart.
  2. Open QuickBooks with the company file you want to use.
  3. Delete the existing company data file from the Quick Shopping Cart QuickBooks Web Connector.
  4. Enable and set up the QuickBooks Integration in Quick Shopping Cart again.
