How Payment Accounts Sync From Quick Books

Explains how payment accounts in Adaptive are synced from QuickBooks via the Chart of Accounts rather than connected directly to real bank or credit card institutions.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Overview

Payment accounts in Adaptive can originate from two sources:

  • Linked bank and credit card accounts connected directly in Adaptive

  • Accounts synced from QuickBooks as part of the Chart of Accounts, such as Bank and Credit Card accounts

This allows Adaptive to support both real-world payment methods and accounting-only accounts while maintaining alignment with QuickBooks when tracking payments.

1. Sync Behavior with QuickBooks

Payment accounts sync automatically from QuickBooks based on the accounts available in the Chart of Accounts.

  • Accounts are pulled from QuickBooks

  • Adaptive mirrors the account structure provided by QuickBooks

Adaptive does not create independent payment accounts outside of what exists in QuickBooks.

2. How Payment Accounts Are Used

Payment accounts are used to associate payments with the correct accounting account.

  • Payments reference the synced payment account

  • Account mapping aligns with QuickBooks reporting

This helps keep payment activity consistent between Adaptive and QuickBooks.

Summary of Key Requirements

  • Payment accounts can be linked directly or synced from QuickBooks

  • Synced accounts are sourced from the Chart of Accounts

  • Bank and credit card accounts are supported

  • Only linked accounts create direct bank or card connections

Important: Only linked payment accounts connect directly to a bank or credit card provider. Accounts synced from QuickBooks do not create a direct financial connection.
