Common Questions

Which accounting integration is best?

QuickBooks Online is most popular in the US. All major POS systems integrate. The integration syncs sales and deposits—quality matters more than which accounting software.

Do I need API access?

Most small businesses don't. Pre-built integrations handle common needs. API matters if you have developers building custom solutions or unique business requirements.
