You’ll see the Recipient Form Fields you created.

Data Sync Behavior
Once your integration is complete:
Newly created donations, customers, and items will automatically sync to QuickBooks.
Data created before integration will not sync retroactively.
Error Handling
If you encounter an error message like the one below:
Don’t worry — this simply means your QuickBooks connection needs to be refreshed. Click Reauthorize to restore your connection.
In rare cases, if further action is needed, the system will notify you when user intervention is required.
