Get receipts into your books without typing / Lesson 3 of 3
Send expenses to QuickBooks Online or Xero
Categorised expenses appear in your accounting software with the receipt image attached, ready to match to the bank feed.
About 10 minutes
Step by step
Connect your accounting software
QuickBooks Online syncs through a direct connection. For Xero, email support@sparkreceipt.com after signing up to have the Xero integration switched on for your account.
Use your own chart of accounts
Once connected, categories come from your QuickBooks or Xero chart of accounts, so expenses land in the accounts your bookkeeper already uses.
Sync one or many
Send transactions one at a time or in batches. Vendor, amount, date, tax, category and currency are sent, and the receipt image is attached to each transaction.
Match in your books
In QuickBooks Online or Xero, the synced transactions are ready to match against your bank feed, so reconciliation becomes a click per line.
Good to know
- Quantities and unit prices stay in SparkReceipt; they are not sent to QuickBooks Online.
