Romy, excellent insight.

So with the Web Connector, is it possible to do the automated sync as I suggested as phase 2, whereas the human element can be removed or minimized?

I am assuming that is the case, because of the name. It certainly sounds like the right to go.

yes, it is possible to have QBWC run automatically—but the computer that has QBWC installed (and therefore QB itself) must be turned on (obviously) and have QB open to the proper company.  that last part is a bug in QBWC v2.

Understandable, but that’s surely a far cry from using IIFs, like other ecommerce extensions required.

If it is any help, you can find a Quickbooks PHP5 integration module here:

I am sorry if I already posted this. I still find this community to be difficult to navigate.
