Do I need a specific QuickBooks Online plan to use the OFX integration?
OFX is designed to work seamlessly with QuickBooks Online, giving you access to robust features like paying bills in multiple currencies. To enjoy the full benefits of the integration, including effortless multicurrency handling, make sure your QuickBooks Online plan includes the multi-currency feature. This feature is only available on QuickBooks Online Essentials, Plus, and Advanced plans.
What is the difference between QuickBooks Online Bank Feed and 2-way sync?
Bank Feed
Your OFX transaction data (payments sent and funds received) flows automatically into QuickBooks Online. This one-way feed makes reconciling your accounts simple and stress-free, just like reviewing a regular bank statement, without the manual effort.
2-Way Sync
Take your integration further with two-way syncing. Approved bills, supplier details and your Chart of Accounts move seamlessly from QuickBooks Online to OFX. When you pay those bills in OFX, the updates flow right back, keeping your payables perfectly aligned and your books always up to date.
There’s no need to set them up separately. Connect OFX and QuickBooks Online once, and both the Bank Feed and 2-way sync are enabled to work together, creating a smooth, integrated workflow that saves time and reduces errors.
If I create a bill in QuickBooks Online, will it automatically appear in OFX for payment?
Once your OFX and QuickBooks Online accounts are successfully connected, any approved bill marked as ‘Awaiting Payment’ in QuickBooks Online will automatically appear in your OFX account, ready for payment. No extra steps needed.
Bills that are still in a ‘Draft’ or ‘Needs Review’ status won’t sync until they have been approved. This helps prevent double entry and keeps your accounts payable process smooth from bill creation all the way through payment and reconciliation.
How does OFX handle multi-currency transactions in QuickBooks Online?
No matter how many currencies you work with, OFX makes it simple. When you pay a foreign currency bill, say a EUR invoice from your USD account, OFX handles all the calculations for you. The payment automatically syncs back to QuickBooks Online, where it:
- Marks the original foreign currency bill as paid
- Records the exact FX rate applied
- Posts any gains or losses from currency conversion
This means your books stay accurate, reconciled, and up-to-date, without the manual calculations or workarounds for transactions in foreign currencies. Multicurrency accounting just became effortless.
How fast does OFX sync with QuickBooks Online?
Data flows almost instantly between OFX and QuickBooks Online. Approve a bill in QuickBooks Online, and it’s ready to pay in OFX within minutes. Make a payment in OFX, and QuickBooks Online updates automatically. This real-time, 2-way sync keeps your books accurate across both platforms, and frees you from manual data entry.
What if a transaction doesn’t sync to QuickBooks Online?
We make it easy to spot and understand why your transaction isn’t syncing. Your OFX account includes an integration status dashboard or sync log that shows all transactions and highlights any that failed, with clear reasons such as:
- Your vendor or customer is inactive in QuickBooks Online
- The account period is closed in QuickBooks Online
- The category mapping is missing or incorrect
This helps you quickly understand what needs attention. And if you ever need a hand, our support team is always ready to help. Contact us at business@ofx.com.
Can I connect my OFX Global Business Account to other accounting or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms?
Yes. You can export data from your account as a CSV file and import it into your accounting platform. We’re always working to expand our integration capabilities and looking to add more platforms soon.
