QuickBooks eCommerce

Pros

It has 'great integration with some ecommerce platforms. Making the company's financial management easier

Cons

Despite being very complete, I believe that this makes it difficult at first, as I was lost on how to use QuickBooks correctly

Pros

I like how easy it is to use and to understand. Does its job well, exactly as it should. The order entry portion runs easily, fits in with the actual world, and needs little training. The inventory management component makes managing inventories easier and gives us all the data we need to do so. Improved integration. The dashboard's user interface and navigation have been improved. Numerous reports that can be modified Projects, salaries, and other add-ons and interfaces are all supported. Contact information and transaction forms are very detailed.

Cons

I did find the software installation process to be a little bit of a drawback. I needed assistance installing the software because it was a little difficult for me to do it. In addition, a strong internet connection was necessary for the process, and the location I was in had limited connectivity, making this component a little difficult. But once it was all done it'll be all good and easy to use until the end. The struggle in the beginning is worth it for its most helpful uses.

Pros

A robust feature set includes a good mobile app, efficient record-keeping, thorough reporting, excellent invoicing, and inventory management. Numerous integrations with third-party apps, including live internal bookkeeping. It is simple to communicate with your accountant and, if necessary, to locate QuickBooks specialists and internet resources. All options include live chat help and phone support from Monday through Sunday.

Cons

In comparison to alternatives, monthly plans are expensive. Users with limited accounts for each subscription and there is a learning curve before beginning.

Pros

Live updating of bundle quantities to our shopify store is very good
The sync speed to shopify is good
The usability of the software is good
It can handle multiple currencies well

Cons

The actual core of the product - keeping track of inventory is not as robust as it needs to be.
We have had many problems of bad syncing with shopify and xero. My opinion is tradegecko is the weak link. Sales are fine. Returns edits and exchanges are bad. So your stock numbers are out. If you edit an order in shopify at all - then tradegecko will not update. So your stock numbers are out.

We also had problems where we made stock takes in tradegecko and they would not sync to xero. Support by email is very cumbersome.

The second unforgivable problem is that you cannot report on consumption of SKU's if they are sold within a BOM. Tradegecko admit this is bad for an inventory management solution. They pass the buck to a program called inventory-planner which is actually excellent.

You cannot plan incoming stock dates on a per product basis. Only on a per purchase order basis. So you end up reverting to excel for part shipment planning. It is not easy to export a whole order book for a single supplier and manage multiple invoming batches.

Reasons for Switching to QuickBooks eCommerce

Pros

The convenience of having everything in one location where you can find it all is something I like. Due to the link, inventory management is simplified and multiple entries are decreased

Cons

It is Incredibly annoying to have to keep getting in touch with clients to explain why we oversold and why our inventory is negative despite our rules forbidding overselling.
