When a payment is received in QuickBooks Online, Zapier triggers a new shipping label creation in Shippo. This helps business owners streamline their order fulfillment process by ensuring all paid orders are quickly prepared for shipment.
Whenever a new invoice is added in QuickBooks Online for a project, Zapier creates a new shipping label for the corresponding deliverables in Shippo. This ensures project managers can seamlessly link shipments to client billing, enhancing efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions about QuickBooks Online + Shippo integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with QuickBooks Online and Shippo
How do I connect QuickBooks Online with Shippo?
To connect QuickBooks Online with Shippo, you'll first need to set up a Zap in your account. Log into Zapier, click on 'Make a Zap', then choose QuickBooks Online as your trigger app and select a trigger event such as 'New Invoice'. Following this, choose Shippo as your action app and select an action event like 'Create Shipment'. Follow the steps to authorize both apps and test the integration.
Can I automatically create shipments in Shippo from new invoices in QuickBooks Online?
Yes, you can set up a trigger-action workflow where every time a new invoice is created in QuickBooks Online, a shipment can be generated automatically in Shippo. Set this up using the 'New Invoice' trigger in QuickBooks Online and pair it with the 'Create Shipment' action in Shippo.
Is it possible to update customer information in QuickBooks when an order is shipped via Shippo?
While our integration primarily focuses on creating shipments based on accounting triggers, updating customer information directly through this integration isn't supported. We recommend handling complex scenarios through additional integrations or manual process updates.
How can I track shipments created through the integration of QuickBooks Online and Shippo?
After setting up an integration that creates shipments from actions like new invoices, tracking details will be available directly within your Shippo account dashboard. You can manage tracking notifications through Shippo settings separately from the Zapier integration.
What types of data can be shared between QuickBooks Online and Shippo through integration?
Typically, when integrating these two platforms, you can share data such as order details from invoices (like recipient addresses and item descriptions) which are then used to create shipping labels and manage logistics within Shippo.
Do I need coding skills to integrate QuickBooks Online with Shippo?
No coding skills are necessary. We provide an intuitive interface where you can automate workflows between QuickBooks Online and Shippo by selecting triggers like 'New Invoice' and actions such as 'Create Shipment', without any programming knowledge required.
Can I receive notifications for shipment statuses made via this integration?
Shipment status notifications are not directly managed through our integration platform. However, once shipments are created in Shippo, you can configure email alerts or push notifications within your Shippo account to keep informed about shipment progress.
