Manera's MANERAbilling flagship can already invoice via Stripe; the QuickBooks Online connector closes the loop so every invoice, payment, refund, and currency conversion lands in your QBO chart of accounts without a CSV-juggling intern.
payment_intent.succeeded becomes a QBO Receive Payment; refunds become Credit Memos| Layer | Method | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Auth | OAuth 2.0 via Intuit App Marketplace | Per-session, refresh hourly |
| Sync | QuickBooks Online API v3 (REST + JSON) | 15-min poll for reconciliation; real-time on Stripe webhooks |
| Tax | Stripe Tax line items mapped 1:1 to QBO tax codes via configuration UI | Per-invoice |
| Audit | All sync events append to MANERAbilling's audit trail | Continuous |
The flow is: Stripe issues an invoice → Manera webhook receives invoice.finalized → Manera POSTs to QBO /v3/company/<id>/invoice → QBO returns invoice ID → Manera stores the cross-reference in entitlement_gate.sqlite for reconciliation.
Q: When will this go live? Q3 2026. We're already in Intuit's beta partner program for QBO Online; sandbox testing in progress.
Q: Will it work with QuickBooks Desktop? No. QBO Online only — Desktop's API is limited and Intuit has signaled deprecation. If you're on Desktop and considering Manera, plan to migrate to QBO first.
Q: What about Xero? Xero is also Q3 2026 (see /integrations/xero).
Q: How does this handle multi-entity / multi-company QBO setups? Each Manera customer maps to one QBO company. Multi-entity buyers (separate QBO files for separate legal entities) configure per-flagship routing — e.g., your US LLC's Stripe account routes to QBO US, your CA Inc. routes to QBO CA.
Q: What about chart-of-accounts mapping? Setup wizard guides you through mapping Manera's revenue / cost / tax / FX accounts to your QBO accounts on first connect. Defaults to common SaaS chart-of-accounts patterns.
This integration is planned for Q3 2026. Buy MANERAbilling today and you'll be auto-migrated when QBO ships. Beta access available for design partners — email [email protected].
