Books in QuickBooks Online — after the RO closes

Independent shops already live in QuickBooks Online for the books. The pain is not “we need another accounting brand.” The pain is retyping closed tickets, payments, and customers into QBO because the shop system and the books never quite meet.

ShopRally’s answer is deliberately narrow. The floor — estimates, job board, payments tracking, customers — stays in ShopRally. When the RO is closed, Elite shops get a CSV export path into QuickBooks Online so the accountant is not rebuilding the week by hand. Ultra inherits that Elite path. Pro does not include QuickBooks.

That is not a second shop OS. If a landing starts selling QBO as the place you run bays, we have failed the packaging. Sync-shaped marketing without a live sync is also a fail — so this page says CSV / stub export until Feature Truth upgrades the product state.

Who this page is for: the owner who already pays for QuickBooks Online and refuses to buy a shop platform that pretends the floor lives in the ledger. Who it is not for: anyone hunting a full accounting suite, Desktop QuickBooks, or a story that Pro includes QBO. Founding Elite is the unlock; Ultra inherits the same CSV path without a separate Ultra books SKU.

The export is only useful if the ticket was honest in ShopRally first — paid-to-date and balance due recorded on the RO, lines closed, customer tied to the same record the bay used. That is why Payments and QuickBooks are sister pages, not duplicates. One is the counter. One is the books handoff after close.

Founding Elite is $239 month-to-month; Ultra is $319 and inherits the same CSV path without a separate Ultra books SKU. Pro is $119 and keeps payment tracking in ShopRally without pretending QuickBooks is included. No lock-in. When native sync ships, this landing upgrades after Feature Truth signs it — not before.

Same honesty standard as Advanced reporting’s Soon page. Elite QBO today is a stub / CSV export. When native sync ships, this section upgrades after Feature Truth signs it. Until then:

• Hero and body use export / CSV verbs.
• Right-rail visual says Export / CSV path today.
• No “always syncing,” no fake conflict-resolution UI, no Desktop QuickBooks, no Xero, no full payroll/GL suite pitch.

Owners comparing us to platforms that advertise deep accounting sync deserve the truth on the first screen — not a footnote after they buy Elite. If your accountant asks “does it sync every night?” the honest answer today is: you export CSV from ShopRally and import into QuickBooks Online. When that answer changes, this landing changes with Truth’s signature — not before. Until then, hero and body use export / CSV verbs. The right-rail visual says Export / CSV path today. We will not mock an always-on ledger, a conflict-resolution UI, Desktop QuickBooks, Xero, or a full payroll / GL suite.
