# QuickBooks Online to Salesforce Accounts Receivable

Learn how to use QuickBooks Online to Salesforce Accounts Receivable template in DBSync Cloud Workflow

DBSync provides a **seamless and easy-to-use integration** solution between **QuickBooks Online** and **Salesforce**, enabling real-time synchronization of key financial and CRM data across both platforms.

The integration supports data exchange between the following entities:

* **QuickBooks Online**: Customers, Jobs, Items, Invoices, Estimates, Sales Orders, Sales Receipts, and Credit Memos
* **Salesforce**: Accounts, Contacts, Products, Opportunities, or any custom objects

This integration not only facilitates ongoing data synchronization but also supports **historical data migration**—allowing you to move legacy records from QuickBooks Online to Salesforce or vice versa. It is ideal for organizations undergoing system consolidation, CRM adoption, or financial data restructuring.

DBSync offers a **unidirectional integration** model with **pre-configured field-to-field mappings**, reducing implementation time and ensuring data consistency. Additionally, the template is highly **flexible and customizable**, supporting dynamic field transformations and complex mapping logic to meet specific business requirements.

With **automatic updates**, DBSync ensures you always have access to the latest features, enhancements, and security improvements—without the need for manual upgrades.

## Data Flow

An example of data flow for unidirectional integration between QuickBooks Online & Salesforce is shown in the table below.
