Estimate Rocket can automatically send your new invoices and new payments to QuickBooks online using Zapier. Zapier is a bridge between Estimate Rocket and QuickBooks and can also be used to connect your account to other third party services as well. The setup process is broken into three parts:

1.) Connect Zapier to Estimate Rocket.
2.) Setup sending New Invoices to QuickBooks.
3.) Setup sending New Payments to QuickBooks.
