If you encounter sync errors while connecting Venn to QuickBooks or Xero, follow these steps:

1. Refresh your accounting connection:

  • Step 1: Go to Venn "Accounting"

  • Step 2: Select the icon (curved arrows) to update the accounting data in Venn.

  • Step 3: Select “Sync to QuickBooks” or “Sync to Xero” to push the latest transactions to your accounting software.

2. Check your transaction categories:

The error may occur if a relevant category wasn’t selected.

  • Before syncing, ensure each transaction in Venn is assigned a proper category from your accounting software’s list of classifications.

3. Disconnect and reconnect Venn:

If refreshing and correcting categories doesn’t resolve the issue:

  • Step 1: Go to Venn "Settings Accounting"

  • Step 2: Select "Disconnect" to either QuickBooks or Xero

  • Step 3: Select "Connect" to either QuickBooks or Xero

⚠️ Important:

Disconnecting may cause some transactions to lose their categories in your accounting software, requiring you to reassign them.

4. Export and manually import transactions:

If syncing still doesn’t work, you can manually export your transactions from Venn and upload them into your accounting software:

  • Step 1: Go to Venn "Transactions"

  • Step 2: If required, filter for your desired transactions

  • Step 3: Select the down arrow button on the top right of the page to export your transactions into a .csv file
