This app does not sync refund transactions, so if you have a customer that buys a product, the sales gets recorded as a sales receipt correctly, but they cancel their order and you refund, that information does not get transmitted to quickbooks. The app claims they do this, but they don't. We realized this after thousands of transactions had gone through, and now we've had to spend hundreds of dollars with an accountant to estimate a solution that works. I highly recommend not getting this app and recording your payouts as sales instead

ABSOLUTE SCAM. Was originally advertised as a free service to sync from shopify to quickbooks. Now they are charging MORE than what it costs to have quickbooks every month. Absolute scam. Avoid at all costs.

very disappointed and frustrated that I not only pay shopify and quickbooks online per month for my business but NOW will have to pay at least $10 a month for a simple AUTOMATED sync between my shop and my accounting. thanks, but no thanks to their new special features they are trying to pass off as a perk of this "upgrade". There should be at least a grandfather claus with their current users, you can't NOW add additional fees for something that has been free for yrs. that is just bad, BAD business. As a small business, every monthly fee matters and adds up quickly. I will be looking elsewhere for my accounting software needs, and will NOT support any other apps managed by BOLD.

HORRIBLE! I thought only the government double taxed us. We pay for shopify and QBO and now we have to pay for what should be part of the QBO service?! EXTORTION! Quickbooks online you should be ashamed.

We already pay for both Shopify and Quickbooks - the introduction of a monthly fee moving forward will see me removing this app and entering data manually.

It even has me questioning whether to stay with Quickbooks or move to Xero which does not have a fee to transfer the data - so not only are the developers losing clients themselves, but this could have a negative impact on Quickbooks itself.
I can see a lot of clients leaving and switching accounting packages because of this.

Awfully disappointed that we are being forced to pay for this integration. As another seller noted, we already pay Shopify and QB separately for their services. Now, without any warning Bold has taken over, and it is forcing us to pay $30 a month for merely passing on the transactions. Of course Shopify is no bystander. They can now enjoy payment for a function which should have been native to the platform. Feels like extortion.

Listen here, normie. I've been learning how to do my own books for my online Shopify business and this app is an absolute dream. No - dream is an understatement. This shit is a cosmological marvel. As of now, everything seems to be running flawlessly and pretty much automatic. YES. AUTOMATIC. I can literally be shredding my Razor Scooter over to the 7-11 down the street to get a Big Gulp sized orange Crush, while this app is doing the boring-ass grown-up grunt-work for me. Admittedly, I did manage to royally f*ck up a whole year's worth of transactions by exporting them into the incorrect QB accounts, forcing me to delete all transactions with a third party app and re-export from scratch. And unfortunately, this app is so damn accurate that it refused to export a transaction that had already been previously exported by it's half-witted user. It literally refused to make a duplicate export cause my dumb ass couldn't figure out how to use it correctly the first time around. But then, almost out of nowhere, a red-haired angel by the name of Alexa flew down from the gates of Heaven aka Bold customer service and with a flick of her magical programmer wand, turned my epic fail into an EPIC CLIENT SUCCESS and just like that... my problems melted away like a snowman on Canada Day in Saskatoon. Listen here kiddo, if a normie like me can figure it out, a normie like you can figure it out too. So quit reading these reviews and download this shit NOW. Seriously, who needs a bookkeeper? This quickbooks thing has me feeling so intellectual that I'm seriously considering backing out of this whole YouTube thing to pursue being an accountant.

Total garbage. It stopped syncing repeatedly. We fixed it. Then it stopped syncing because suddenly there were duplicate tax agencies for Washington State. Shopify, QBO and BOLD all blamed each other and none took responsibility to fix the app and problem. After several weeks they finally fixed it. Then it stopped syncing again!!! When I manually restarted the sync it lost transaction date data in QBO. During the course of using this app I paid hundreds of extra dollars to my accountant to have her un-screw all the stuff that this app screwed up. Total waste of time, money and energy. DO NOT GO WITH THIS APP.

We were loving having our Shopify connected to our Quickbooks, but we just received word that there was going to be a fee imposed on us. We have been using the feature for a couple of years, and it is part of the reason we switched to Shopify in the first place. Despite the fact that we really don't do a ton of sales per month, since they are charging per interaction with Quickbooks, it looks like that automatically puts us in the $30 PER MONTH range, and we will not be having it. This development also brings into question our commitment to Shopify in the first place.

Absolutely terrible business practice to have a standard and basic app that is free and then decide to impose a fee on customers. Absolutely abhorrent. Bold Apps will no longer be getting my $60+ a month and I encourage others to do the same.
